What Lies Beneath

We live in an age when many, some even in our churches, have made Jesus in their own image. One reason this happens is because Jesus’ teachings often were very provocative, challenging, and convicting, and most of us will do whatever we can to avoid being on the wrong end of them. This morning, we will take a look at the familiar passage of John 6, in which Jesus feeds the five thousand. We often focus on Jesus’ compassion for the needy and the miracle He performed, but today we will examine Jesus’ hard teaching following this miracle, which led the crowd to walk away.
