ئەپەکە بەدەست بهێنەHIStory: A Six Week Study of the Gospel of Johnنموونە
“Heaven’s Bakery"
In a bizarre encounter with a bunch of hungry people, Jesus tries to get people to see beyond their physical need for food to see their spiritual need for Him. But most of the people couldn’t look past their immediate need. Most didn’t realize that Jesus had so much more to offer than just another bite from the bakery. He was offering them something eternal, something that would satisfy the hunger of our soul.
Finally, Jesus says something that incited many of his followers to quit following him in verse 53, "Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” Jesus wasn’t talking about cannibalism. He was using his body as a metaphor of the sacrifice He was going to make for them. They need to trust in Him alone to meet their ultimate need for eternal life.
Why would so many people stop following Jesus because of this teaching? Did they miss the bigger picture?
What does Jesus’ body and blood mean to you and your salvation?

About this Plan
Jesus was more than just a figurative religious voice. He actually walked this earth as a man revealing to us the full nature of God. One of his best friends, John, took time to write down for us the account of his life, ministry, and teachings. This six-week study through the Gospel of John is not only history, but it’s also His Story.
