    SUMMARY   “The following section of scripture (chapters 8 to 10) can be described with two words: Radical confrontation. There will be conflict that escalates between Jesus and the Jewish leaders (chapter 8), the healing of a man born blind (chapter 9), Jesus' claim to be the Good Shepherd (chapter 10), and Jesus' claim to be the Messiah and Son of God!” NIV Biblical Theological Study Bible   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Main Idea: Jesus is the light of the world, enabling those enslaved by sin to live in freedom.    A Path Revealed (12)  Those who follow Him will not walk in darkness  Those who follow Him have the light of life  A Revealing Response (13–20) They attempt to discredit Jesus  They judge by human standards  They dismiss Jesus' relationship with the Father

    SUMMARY    “After the departure of some “disciples” of Jesus (not the “Twelve”) because of the offensive nature of Jesus's message (6:60), the Gospel continues to show the kind of responses the message and ministry of Jesus yields. Since the beginning of the Gospel, the narrative has been depicting the dramatic interaction between light and darkness, God and the world (1:5). In this section of Scripture, conflict is not far away but right at home, with the very people with whom Jesus should have found the most connection and support—his own family.” - Edward W. Klink KEY TAKEAWAYS    Main Idea: Jesus' faithful obedience to the Father is seen as He prioritizes God's mission and agenda over man's. Jesus embraces His true identity (1–5) He rejects the idea of being a religious celebrity  He does not want superficial faith, but faith in Him  Jesus prioritizes His Father's will, not ours (6–13) He fulfills the Father's divine appointments  He came to reveal truth and shine the light on the cynicism and fear of men

    SUMMARY    “From the beginning of the Gospel, Jesus has been intimately connected to God (cf. 1:1), and the previous pericope gave a vivid demonstration of the unity of God and Jesus, the “I am” in the burning bush and on the sea. As much as this pericope completes the larger picture of chapter 6, it also propels the Gospel's narrative forward, forcing us to confront the person of Jesus as the fullness of God. Jesus has confessed dramatically His true identity; He will now challenge his interested followers to see if they are willing to accept him as He truly is.” Edward Klink KEY TAKEAWAYS   Main Idea: Jesus' offer of eternal life demands a response from us.   We can harden our hearts against Him (60-65)  We take offense at His Words  We don't see Jesus for who He truly is  We don't believe in the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit  We can come to know and trust the Holy One of God (67–69) We recognize His Words are the only source of life We surrender and submit ourselves to Him

    The feeding of the five thousand is the fifth of seven signs John presents to urge his readers to trust in Jesus as Messiah and Son of God. Jesus tests his disciples, and they try to figure out a problem on their own without Him, and the crowd tries to capture and use Jesus for their own selfish ends. The lesson for all of us is to learn to rely on Jesus and receive him as our king.  For more information about Brainerd North Georgia visit: https://www.brainerdbaptist.org/brainerd-north-ga
