PONDER | REFLECTION QUESTIONS
- Study Scripture – Read John 6:1-13 and Numbers 11. What are some similarities in the two passages? (Hint: focus on the complains and grumblings of the people and what was provided and by who). What do you think John is trying to draw the readers to infer about Jesus? Read John 6:14-15 – What is John saying about the type of kingship they intend for Jesus to be vs Jesus’ intent? [ie: earthly king vs heavenly eternal king]
- Recall Sermon – What is John trying to tell everyone about Jesus through this sign? What is John trying to say about Jesus through the way He listed the signs? Who is Jesus and what does God intend for Jesus to do in the larger context of the seven signs?
- Relate Personally – What does the ability to “feast” mean for us culturally? How does the concept of “eating until we have enough” (v12) mean for a blessed life? How can you relate that to what God’s providence (Jesus) is? Is Jesus enough for us?
- Commit to Action – Jesus had compassion on the 5,000 and fed them. John is trying to say that Jesus is the ultimate provider for those who would “feast” in Him. What areas of your life do you need to “surrender” to allow God to multiply? What are your five loaves and two fishes that you can bring before God?
