Chapter Six
John 6 is packed with big miracles and big lessons. First, Jesus feeds over 5,000 people with just five loaves and two fish—showing His power to provide. Later, He walks on water to His disciples during a storm, calming their fears and reminding them He’s in control. The next day, the crowd chases after Him, but Jesus challenges them: “Don’t work for food that spoils, but for food that lasts to eternal life.” He calls Himself the Bread of Life, saying that whoever comes to Him will never go hungry or thirsty spiritually. This confuses and offends many, especially when Jesus says they must “eat His flesh and drink His blood” to have life—pointing to His sacrifice on the cross. Some followers walk away, but Peter boldly declares, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” The chapter reminds us that Jesus is our true source of life, and believing in Him is the only way to be fully satisfied.
