Here in this chapter of John we have what can be called the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus reveals who he is,why he came and our work in this great plan of salvation.Since the fall of man ,it has always be about reconciling man back with God, from Noah's ark ,Joseph in egypt, Moses leading the children of Israel from Egypt and even Samson's battles, were all about the salvation of mankind.
Jesus came to save man from sin.
Here in the story we have a great multitude following Jesus. But as we see, all following Jesus were not follwers of Jesus. Many followed seeking the miracles he preformed and the food which they ate. There are many today seeking Jesus for material gain and worldly possessions, and not for the salvation of their souls. Jesus reveals to us our work in this great plan of salvation, he took the loaves blessed it then broke it and gave to the disciples, who then distributed it among the people, Jesus then instructed them to gather up the fragments that none be lost. See Jesus came that none be lost, he has given us the blessed word of God for us to take out and share with a dying world, that none be lost, we are then to take up the fragments of broken lives, and lead them to Jesus. Then Jesus reveals who he is, stating that all who don't eat of his flesh and drink of his blood shall not enter the kingdom
Jesus must live on the inside of us, he is the living word by which we shall have everlating life. He is the abundant life promised us by Gods word. God never promised us big cars, fancy houses, large bank accounts, he never said the road would be easy, a narrow uphill road is never an easy road. But what he did promise is that he would never leave us nor forsake us.What can be more abundant than a life lived in the arms of our Savior.
