(20) The Divine Channel (John 6:41-59)
Rev. Brian Lee
I. Stop grumbling! (v. 43)
Rejected Jesus’ Deity out of ignorance (v. 42)
Just like their Ancestors (Ex 15:24, 16:2, 1 Cor 10:1-11)
Grumbled & Argued
II. Invitation & Response
All will be Taught (v. 45)
Not everyone will Hear and Learn
Only those who do will receive eternal life
All will be Given (v. 51)
Eternal Life
Flesh (Himself which He will give for the LIFE of the world - ) Sacrifice
Blood (Life, by which the atonement is made complete)
Invitation is given, you have to respond
Some Jews were supporting Jesus: Argued among themselves
III. Divine Help
Come to God Though Jesus (v. 44)
Knowing God THROUGH Jesus (v. 45)
Seeing God Through Jesus (v. 46)
Remain in Jesus and He will abide in you (v. 56)
IV. Application
Do you actively search to know more of God and His word or are you being ignorant like the Jewish leaders and automatically turn down and reject if things don’t make sense logically?
We need to depend on God for His divine help through our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Divine Channel we can turn to.
What does it mean to remain in Jesus? Are you “remaining” in Jesus Christ? If you are not, what’s preventing you from it?
