Read: John 6
Jesus’ ministry was in the vicinity around the sea of Galilee. My mouth dropped when I looked up the meaning of Galilee. It means “heathen circle”. No wonder that was the area he concentrated on. They needed him the most.
It was the time of Passover which is the picture of salvation. Jesus demonstrated what Passover was suppose to be when he multiplied the bread and gave it to the people. He was the bread that was broken and given out to anyone who wanted him. There were five barley loaves which is the number of grace. Grace is how we receive salvation. They only mentioned having bread left over. The five small barley loaves filled everyone and there were twelve basketful left. The bread also stands for the Word of God. I think this is showing us that even when we understand part of the Word there is still so much more to understand. Revelation multiplies and we will never have it all till the end. Jesus was the manna that came down from heaven just as Jesus came down from heaven to walk the earth.
Jesus realized the men were going to make him king and rid them of their poverty problem because he could multiply food, so he escaped. No telling what they would have done if they had saw how he walked on water and transported his disciples right out of their storm to the other side.
In verse 39 Jesus says that God’s will was to save all that God had given him and raise them up on the last day. He was talking about his Church.
Lord, I pray that revival would come to your Church and that the remnant would come in.
