Just ask
John 6.24-35Following the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus moves out of the immediate scene, prompting some of the crowd to search for him. They find Jesus on the other side of the lake and are clearly keen for another encounter with the man who provided a miraculous picnic. They were not perhaps prepared for the way Jesus responds to them. Suggesting that they had only looked for him because he gave them food, he opens an intriguing discussion about bread, comparing this everyday necessity to himself as the source of all life and that their work is to believe in him who sustains all things.
How can we do the work that God wants? Are we convinced that believing in Jesus is sufficient, or do we too ask for signs?
This week we explore the question: what must we do to perform the works of God?
