JOHN – Chapter 6
What/who was important to Jesus?
Abiding faith
What needs did Jesus meet?
He met people’s physical needs by feeding them with physical food/substance and He meets people’s spiritual needs by providing them with spiritual food/substance
What did Jesus ask or require of his followers?
To abide in our faith in Him, so that we don’t fall away and eventually fully and finally lose our eternal salvation unlike the false doctrine of Calvinism: once saved always saved
What issues did Jesus address (relationships, work, money, character, religious practice, etc.)?
He explains that a full life is found in Him and how the way He lived is an example of what God meant life to be
What is compelling to you about Jesus in this section?
How He feeds the multitudes as that was central enough to the Jesus narrative to be included in all four Gospels---although, the author of John uses different source material from the Jesus tradition ([written] oral tradition about Jesus) which focuses on the spiritual aspects of that event
How do followers respond to Jesus?
We must abide in our faith and trust in Him
What in this section challenges us to respond/ imitate/obey?
To serve God through love and in relationship not theophobia or by being literally afraid of God
How did Jesus change the world (for an individual or for a community)? He became our Living Manna
What vision of being missional do you glimpse for yourself? For the church? We are to be missional by living a life of loving service
