Discussion

 

 

1. Some people followed Jesus because he fed them. How is this like/unlike church?

 

2. What are some characteristics of bread that make it an appropriate symbol for Jesus to use in teaching?

 

3. In 6:28 someone asks, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” What do you think they meant? What are some possible answers?

 

4. Discuss 6:37 “all that the Father gives me” and 6:44 “no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him…” Does this mean that there are some who are not chosen?”

 

5. Discuss the implications of 6:39, “I shall lose none of all that he has given me…”

Does this mean that salvation is guaranteed regardless of how we live?

 

6. In 6:42 what kept people from accepting Jesus as God? If you had been there, what would you be thinking?
