Day 1, (Knowing)
John 6:41-42, They said “Is to this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, I have come down from heaven? John 7:27-28, We know where the man came from..
Day 2, (Grumbling)
John 6:43, Do not grumble Ex. 16:2, 7, 8, 9, 11, (8 times)
John 6:44, No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. 1 Cor. 12:3
Other parallels between two text, mana in the wilderness, vs. feeding of 5000, relates to the fathers not “knowing” what was actually going on Ex. 16:12, 15,
and them eating to their fill in the wilderness or desolate place. Ex. 16:16, 18, as much as he could eat John 6:11-12
Also “kill”, with Jesus they want to kill Him because of His words, but in the wilderness the fathers think God wants to kill them
Exodus 16:3, 17:3 (in the wilderness to kill by hunger and thirst)
Ex. 12:6, 21. (Kill the Lamb) John 5:18, 7:1, 19, 20, 25, 8:37, 40
Ex. 13:15 (Kill the first born of Egypt)
Day 3 (God Teaches)
John 6:45, It is written in the Prophets, “And they will all be taught by God.
Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me
Isa. 54:13, Jer. 31:33-34, Heb. 8:10-11 (This is the NC promise and it’s realities) John 7:16-17 , John 7:28, Jesus taught in the temple…
(Luke 12:12, Matt. 10:19-20)
Day 4, (The Unseen’s Messenger)
He makes Him known, Heb. 1:1-2
John 6:46, not that anyone has seen the Father except He who is from God; He has seen the Father John 1:18, John 14:6-11
John 7:29, I know Him, for I come from Him, and He sent me
John 3:32, 8:38 John 7:28-29, He who sent me is true, and Him you do not know. I know Him, for I come from Him, and He sent Me.
Heb. 3:1-6
Day 5, (Eternal Life)
John 6:47, Truly, truly, I say to you, (whoever believes has eternal life)
John 6:48, I am the bread of life, John 6:35,
John 6:49-51
Those who ate of the bread in the wilderness died
Those who eat of this bread will not die
(What is the difference between life and eternal life?)
We can say physical life and spiritual life. Physical death is not the end.
John 6:57-59 (the wilderness bread) John 6:52-56, the Exodus 12:7-11, (eat flesh) and Ex 12:12-13 (drink blood) Passover concepts
Again Jesus is making the contrast between the wilderness mana and the feeding of the 5000 bread. God supernaturally cared for people in a deserted place, but the bread administrated by Moses was a shadow of the fulfillment to come delivered by the Christ. Heb. 3:3
