Episode notes
Jesus as Living Bread
- Jesus shows His glory by offering Himself as the living bread, not just giving bread to satisfy physical hunger.
- This bread signifies His flesh given for the life of the world, revealing salvation beyond physical needs.
Jesus’ True Kingship
- Jesus is indeed king, but not the military king the crowd expects.
- His kingdom rules hearts through satisfying souls, not through armies and conquest.
Danger of Seeking Jesus for Gifts
- The crowd seeks Jesus only for what He can give, not for who He is.
- This self-centered approach misses the gospel's heart: transformation of desires, not mere provision.
