John 6 (Part 3) Preparing your Heart (John 6:36-40)

Hope you guys are doing great and having a good week. 

Hopefully you have found some time to briefly consider the 4 main ideas of the first paragraph for this weekend in John 6:26-35.

Like in the discourse with the Samaritan woman and Nicodemus Jesus causes His audience to think deeper than they normally would do. To think about more weighty spiritual matters than just day to day earthly matters. 

If you have processed in your heart and mind the above text and it has become a building block or puzzle piece for you then move on to the next paragraph of thoughts in John 6:36-40. Here the text makes 5 basic points.

• 36, You see but don’t believe, John 6:64 
• 37, All the Father gives Me will come to Me, John 6:65, 44 
• 38, Not My will but the will of Him who sent Me, John 3:30 
• 39, His will is that I should lose nothing of all that He has given Me, John 17:6 
• 40, Those who look on the Son and believe in Him should have eternal life

As you attempt to commit these concept to your heart and mind consider grouping them in this way.

1. Consider vs 38. What do you see? What is the main idea?
2. Consider vs 36 and 40. How are they similar? What are the two groups of people described?
3. Consider vs 37 and 39. Are these definite statements or general ones? What does it mean by “All the Father gives Me will come to Me?”

I put a few other references to do further study on the ideas, take some time to go visits any verses that you think relate and are relevant to give a better understanding to the passage.

Hope you are all doing well and look forward to meeting with you this weekend.
