Mark 6:30-56 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

0:00
Mark chapter 6, we're going to begin reading together in verse 30, and we're going to read through the end of the chapter.
0:06
So hang with me and you'll soon understand why we're going to take such a big chunk of this.
0:11
Not because I'm in any way eager to get through and to the end of Mark, but it's appropriate to deal with it together this morning.
0:18
So beginning of verse 30 of chapter 6.
0:21
The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.
0:26
And he said to them,
0:56
And he said,
2:56
This is God's word to us written for his glory and our good.
3:06
We would all do well to listen to it and obey it this morning.
3:10
Let's pray together.
3:11
Father, we do praise you this morning for the gift of your word.
3:17
And we pray now that you will bless us together as we come and meet around it.
3:23
As we come to look and to gaze into it.
3:25
As we come to see what it is you would say to us this day by it.
3:29
Father, we desire to look more like your son.
3:34
And you accomplish that by your spirit and the preaching of your word.
3:37
And we pray that that will be done in us this day.
3:40
Make us more like him that we might exalt his name.
3:43
And we pray this in Christ's name.
3:46
Amen.
3:46
Amen.
3:48
So, we're coming to the end of chapter 6.
3:50
And we have now seen miracle after miracle after miracle.
3:54
In fact, Mark has been driving that kind of in comic book fashion.
3:58
He's just been laying them out to us again and again and again.
4:01
And here we see three more miracles.
4:03
Rather magnificent ones.
4:05
Two specific.
4:06
And then a summary of Jesus' healing ministry.
4:10
We've seen so far in the Gospel of Mark.
4:11
Jesus' power over sickness.
4:13
Over demons.
4:15
Over creation.
4:16
Over death.
4:17
And over sin.
4:18
And what Mark is doing for us in here is he's crying out to us.
4:21
Jesus is the Christ.
4:23
Jesus is the anointed one of God.
4:26
Believe in Him.
4:27
This is the point of his Gospel.
4:30
That we might recognize Him for who He is.
4:32
And follow Him accordingly.
4:34
That is the cry.
4:36
We have come now as we've been kind of marching through here.
4:40
We've seen at the end of chapter 4.
4:42
Jesus calming the Sea of Galilee.
4:43
These massive waves that would rise up.
4:45
Up to 10 feet tall.
4:47
He simply speaks and it's calmed.
4:49
He then lands on the shore.
4:50
Casts out an army of demons out of a man.
4:53
Puts them in pigs who drown in the sea.
4:56
We've seen countless healings.
4:59
Even summary of healings.
5:00
Many, many people were being healed.
5:03
It said that illness was altogether eradicated from Israel in this day.
5:08
We've seen Him raise a young girl from the dead.
5:11
We've seen Him rejected in His hometown.
5:15
Which He then goes and sends out the Twelve on their first journey apart from Him.
5:20
And then we saw last week the death of John the Baptist.
5:23
And this is where we come.
5:25
And we see the apostles are returning.
5:28
They do a one verse debrief.
5:31
I'd love to know some of the details of all that they had done and taught.
5:35
But this is the detail that Mark gives us at this juncture.
5:38
And Jesus says,
5:39
Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.
5:43
Which is a plan that's interrupted.
5:45
And then we see this coming series of miracles that are performed.
5:49
These are the last miracles that Jesus will perform in Galilee.
5:53
These two specific, the walking on water, the feeding of the 5,000.
5:58
And then this kind of summary at the end of chapter 6 of this great number that's being healed.
6:04
And after this, He leaves.
6:05
He goes off to the Mediterranean coast, to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
6:09
And He doesn't return to Galilee.
6:11
This is His third time He's kind of made a sweep through the region.
6:15
This is, if you will think of it in this way, kind of His last sermon presentation.
6:20
This is His last days in this region, preaching the good news of the coming kingdom of God.
6:27
So we would be remiss today if we didn't spend some time certainly talking about the amazing, incredible nature,
6:34
awesome nature of these miracles.
6:37
We see the first one that feeds all these people that are gathered.
6:42
We see 5,000 men.
6:44
Matthew makes it a little more explicit for us.
6:46
It says 5,000 men besides women and children.
6:49
Likely that every man there would have had a wife and some kids.
6:53
Most scholars estimate somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000 people had followed them around the side of the sea
7:00
and met them where they landed.
7:03
There are only two miracles that are recorded in all four Gospels.
7:07
There's only two.
7:09
First is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
7:11
All four Gospels speak of that miracle.
7:13
The second is this one, the feeding of the 5,000.
7:17
Which means that it has some special significance.
7:19
It's amazing.
7:20
It's an incredible feat that He accomplished.
7:22
But He's also done some other very incredible things.
7:24
He's raised people from the dead.
7:25
He's cast out legions of demons.
7:27
He's calmed a storm.
7:28
He's done all of this with the power of His Word.
7:30
He's going to walk on water right after this.
7:32
Incredible, incredible things.
7:33
But all four of the Gospel writers were inspired to record this particular miracle.
7:40
Next we see Him walking on water.
7:42
Again, having dominion over creation.
7:45
I, just for fun, was looking around on the internet a couple months ago
7:50
and found a group of guys that are trying to run on water.
7:52
This is like their new sport that they're doing.
7:55
And they've managed to run fast enough that they can get about three steps out into the water before they sink.
8:00
And it's kind of hilarious because they have to capture it on high-speed footage
8:03
to even know that they're staying on top of the water.
8:05
Because it's fairly, when you watch them do it, you're like,
8:08
Yep, I've done that before.
8:09
Run and crash into the water.
8:11
But Jesus Himself took a stroll in a storm out on the sea.
8:15
In fact, the record is that He intended just to pass by them.
8:18
He was just going to walk on past as they were trying to tack in this storm,
8:23
try to sail against the wind and arrive on the other coast.
8:26
But when they see Him, He enters the boat with them.
8:29
And then again, as I said, at the end here we see,
8:32
after these things happen, this summary of healing.
8:36
Anybody who heard coming to Him that they just might touch Him.
8:40
He had that kind of power radiated out of Him.
8:43
If somebody would just touch Him, they would be healed of whatever infirmary they had.
8:48
So incredible miracles. Incredible.
8:51
We have said time and time again, look at these miracles.
8:54
Look at the way in which they lend evidence to the message that He was preaching.
8:58
And that was the point all along.
9:01
Jesus worked in these supernatural ways to say to people,
9:05
listen to what I am telling you.
9:08
People thronged around Him.
9:10
Many thousands of people.
9:12
Here we see likely 20 to 25,000 people.
9:16
And if you'll catch this, they're kind of dumb.
9:18
They've left and chased Him around the Sea of Galilee
9:21
and have no provision for the day.
9:23
Right? They're sheep wandering about
9:25
and they've wandered together to meet Him on the other side of the sea.
9:29
He's constantly pressed around.
9:31
But He did all of this that people might hear the good news
9:33
of the coming kingdom of God.
9:36
We would do well to hear that from Him today.
9:39
So I want us to note three things from the text.
9:43
Firstly, notice Jesus' compassion.
9:48
Notice His compassion.
9:49
Verse 34 says,
9:51
He had compassion on them because
9:54
they were like sheep without a shepherd.
9:58
Now I just want you to put in your mind
10:00
kind of what's been going on and where Jesus is at.
10:02
He's just been rejected in His hometown.
10:05
Small town. Very little town Nazareth was.
10:08
Everybody in Nazareth knew Him.
10:10
And in fact, this wasn't the first time He had been rejected.
10:13
This is the second time He had been rejected.
10:14
He had been there about a year prior
10:15
and they tried to throw Him off a cliff.
10:17
And seemingly in some miraculous way,
10:19
He passed through them and got away.
10:21
So this is the second time He returns
10:22
and He's once again rejected.
10:24
And it actually says that He marveled at their unbelief.
10:28
That He was amazed by the fact
10:30
that they wouldn't accept Him as the Christ.
10:33
We talked when we looked at that text
10:34
that He did this to set an example for the apostles.
10:37
He's about to send them out.
10:38
He's going to give them some instruction
10:40
on what to do when they're rejected.
10:42
So He's a living example in that way.
10:44
And He goes and says,
10:45
See?
10:46
People are going to reject even the Christ.
10:48
Of course they will reject you.
10:50
And He sends them out.
10:51
And then we get this story
10:52
interjected in the middle of all of this.
10:54
It kind of...
10:55
It's almost like you go to a different scene altogether.
10:57
And we get this story
10:58
of Herod beheading John the Baptist,
11:01
which Kyle did a wonderful job with last week.
11:05
And this is the end of that.
11:06
This is the finality of that.
11:08
We see in verse 29 of chapter 6,
11:10
When His disciples heard of it,
11:12
they came and took His body
11:13
and laid it in a tomb.
11:16
And then we see the record
11:17
that the apostles returned to Jesus.
11:19
And certainly, Jesus,
11:20
if He hadn't already heard the news
11:22
that John the Baptist had been beheaded,
11:24
heard it at this point.
11:25
The apostles returned to Him
11:27
and He knows at this point
11:28
what has happened to His cousin
11:31
of some relation,
11:32
some type of cousin, friend,
11:34
the one who came before Him
11:36
and heralded His coming.
11:37
This man meant a lot to Him.
11:40
And the response is,
11:42
Come away by yourselves
11:43
to a desolate place
11:45
and rest a while.
11:47
And note that at this point,
11:48
He is with them,
11:49
also going away
11:50
to a desolate place
11:51
to rest a while.
11:53
And they're interrupted
11:54
in this plan to go
11:55
and to be still
11:58
and to recharge
11:59
by a throng of people.
12:02
And I have to tell you
12:03
that this text
12:05
has particularly ministered to me
12:06
over the last couple of weeks
12:07
because I get this way sometimes.
12:09
I get just so drained.
12:11
And I'm just so tired.
12:13
And then the phone call comes.
12:15
Right?
12:15
And you just go,
12:16
Oh, not another phone call.
12:18
I don't know if I can handle
12:19
another thing.
12:20
I don't know that I have
12:20
anything else to give.
12:22
And I imagine that this is the place
12:23
that Jesus is at
12:24
at this time.
12:26
Right?
12:27
Perfectly human.
12:28
Perfectly God.
12:29
I'm sure He had much more energy
12:30
than I'll ever have in my life.
12:32
However, He was, in fact, human.
12:34
He felt pain.
12:35
He felt sorrow.
12:36
And here He's experiencing
12:37
the loss of John the Baptist.
12:40
He's been rejected
12:41
in His hometown.
12:42
And rather than
12:43
turning the crowd away,
12:45
rather than getting back in the boat
12:46
and sailing someplace else,
12:47
that's what I would have done.
12:48
I would have taken off in the sea
12:50
and stayed out there to rest.
12:52
He sees the people
12:53
and He has compassion on them.
12:56
He sees them in their state.
12:58
They're like sheep.
12:59
And if you don't know much about sheep,
13:00
sheep are fairly dumb animals.
13:03
They need a shepherd.
13:04
Sheep are left to themselves.
13:06
They get slaughtered.
13:07
Wolves come in and they kill them.
13:09
They need a shepherd.
13:10
A shepherd protects them.
13:11
A shepherd leads them
13:12
to good grass and clean water.
13:14
They don't do that on their own.
13:16
They wander around
13:18
hoping to find good grass
13:20
and clean water.
13:21
Sheep are dependent on a shepherd.
13:23
And this is how He views them.
13:26
He has compassion.
13:27
He has compassion.
13:28
Another wonderful example of this
13:29
is when He's coming into
13:30
the city of Jerusalem.
13:33
These are His people
13:34
who are apostate.
13:35
They have rejected
13:36
what God has told them
13:38
in the Old Testament
13:38
of the coming of the Christ.
13:39
They are about to reject Jesus Himself.
13:42
It says that when He drew near
13:43
and saw the city,
13:43
He wept over it.
13:46
A heartfelt compassion.
13:48
A man who was God,
13:50
who knew how it was
13:52
that God was going to play out
13:53
redemptive history in the world.
13:54
And yet we see Him
13:56
with the people
13:57
who were coming to seek
13:58
just what they could get from Him.
14:00
Heal us.
14:01
Do miraculous things for us.
14:02
Give us food to eat.
14:04
And He had compassion on them.
14:07
He provides for their needs here.
14:09
Their temporal,
14:10
or if you prefer the word physical,
14:12
He provides for their temporal needs.
14:14
And Mark doesn't record this,
14:15
but in other accounts,
14:16
like in Luke 9, verse 11,
14:19
it says that He cured those
14:20
who had need of healing.
14:22
So He does some healing
14:23
at this time as well.
14:25
Matthew 6, verse 31-33,
14:28
which precedes Matthew's account
14:30
of the feeding of the 5,000
14:32
in chapter 14.
14:34
Jesus teaches this,
14:35
which Wes alluded to earlier.
14:38
Beginning verse 31,
14:39
Do not be anxious,
14:40
saying,
14:40
What shall we eat?
14:41
Or what shall we drink?
14:43
Or what shall we wear?
14:44
For the Gentiles,
14:45
or those outside of the kingdom,
14:47
seek after all these things,
14:49
and your heavenly Father
14:50
knows that you need them all.
14:52
But seek first the kingdom of God
14:53
and His righteousness,
14:55
and all these things
14:56
will be added to you.
14:58
So He provides for their need.
15:00
They're there stupidly
15:02
wandering into the wilderness
15:03
to follow Him without provision.
15:06
And the apostles are smart
15:08
in this regard.
15:08
They see the time that's growing late.
15:10
Very pragmatic.
15:11
Send them away.
15:12
Send them back to town.
15:13
They've got to buy provision
15:14
so that they can survive.
15:16
And Jesus instead,
15:18
in this incredibly miraculous way,
15:20
in a creation from almost nothing,
15:23
creates food to feed
15:25
20,000 to 25,000 people.
15:28
And that is a staggering number of people.
15:31
I don't know if you can even
15:31
wrap your mind around.
15:32
I can't think of a gathering we have
15:34
that's 20,000 to 25,000 people.
15:37
But do that in terms of
15:38
wedding plate cost.
15:42
Some of you are young, married,
15:44
caterers come and cater.
15:45
Let's say $10 a plate.
15:48
$200,000 worth of food.
15:50
That is a lot of food.
15:52
This was an abundance of food.
15:55
This was no small snack
15:57
split up amongst people.
15:58
They ate until they were full.
16:00
And there was food left over.
16:02
The food abounded,
16:03
which is the point
16:04
of the gathering of baskets.
16:06
Jesus not only provided for their need,
16:07
but He went above and beyond
16:09
in His blessing
16:10
as He created food for them.
16:12
So He provided for their temporal,
16:14
their physical needs.
16:16
But more importantly than that,
16:18
He was looking to meet
16:19
their spiritual needs.
16:22
And herein is a lesson.
16:24
Those of us who are ministers
16:25
of the gospel of God,
16:26
and I don't mean in a special position
16:28
like I hold,
16:29
but those of us who are Christians,
16:31
who are ministering
16:31
the gospel of God,
16:32
what we need to give to people
16:33
is their real needs,
16:35
not their felt needs.
16:37
Some people think they need
16:39
a certain,
16:40
have something that they need met,
16:41
but it's not necessarily
16:42
what they really need.
16:43
And what people really need
16:44
is their hearts addressed.
16:45
People really need
16:46
the good news
16:47
of the kingdom of God
16:48
to get inside of them
16:49
and work in them.
16:50
And this is what we see Jesus doing.
16:52
Verse 34,
16:53
the second half.
16:53
And He began teaching them
16:55
many things.
16:57
20 to 25,000 people.
16:59
He sits down on the shore with them
17:01
and begins to teach them
17:02
many things.
17:03
What was His message?
17:04
It was the good news
17:05
of the kingdom of God.
17:06
What are God's ways?
17:08
How can you bring yourself
17:09
under them?
17:10
How can you have life
17:11
and life everlasting?
17:14
Now there's some other keys
17:15
in this text
17:15
for what He was doing
17:16
and why we can know
17:17
that He was looking to meet
17:19
their spiritual needs.
17:21
Because we see some typology
17:23
play out here.
17:24
Now let me explain quickly to you
17:26
typology.
17:27
This is a super brief summary.
17:29
A type,
17:29
if we talk about
17:30
an Old Testament type
17:31
of Christ,
17:32
we're not saying
17:33
a version of Christ.
17:34
That's the way we use
17:35
the word type
17:36
in our modern English.
17:37
We're not saying
17:37
a version of Christ.
17:38
We're talking about
17:39
a character who prefigures
17:41
or who supersedes Christ.
17:44
To speak in the typology terms,
17:46
the anti-type, right?
17:47
Which is the greater thing.
17:49
So it shows us a shadow
17:51
of something that is to come.
17:53
And they're all throughout
17:53
the Old Testament.
17:54
David is an example of that.
17:56
Moses is an example of that.
17:57
The ark.
17:59
Noah's ark is an example of that.
18:00
Jesus.
18:01
The ark is a type of Christ
18:02
that saves us
18:03
from God's condemnation.
18:05
These things run all throughout
18:06
the Old Testament Scriptures.
18:08
So,
18:08
he does a couple of things
18:09
that are interesting here
18:10
that point to this.
18:12
Right?
18:12
So we know that Moses
18:13
led God's people
18:14
out of captivity
18:16
as God's instrument
18:19
leads them out of captivity.
18:20
This great picture
18:21
of God's people
18:22
being led out of slavery
18:24
to sin
18:24
and into redemption
18:25
and to living in his kingdom.
18:28
And so,
18:28
we see them gathering together.
18:30
You can see this
18:31
in Exodus chapter 18,
18:32
verse 21,
18:33
in 100s and 50s.
18:36
And Moses
18:37
presided over the people
18:38
in this way.
18:39
He divided them
18:39
into thousands,
18:40
into hundreds,
18:41
into fifties,
18:41
into tens.
18:41
That was the way
18:42
in which he governed
18:43
over the people.
18:44
Jesus does the very same thing.
18:47
So,
18:48
Jesus is saying to them,
18:49
I am the better Moses
18:51
as he divides them up
18:52
to distribute food
18:54
amongst them.
18:55
He's also,
18:56
we see David as a type.
18:58
Ezekiel 34,
18:59
23 says,
19:00
And I will set up over them
19:01
one shepherd,
19:03
my servant David,
19:04
and he shall feed them.
19:05
He shall feed them
19:06
and be their shepherd.
19:09
And herein we find,
19:10
perhaps,
19:11
this is my very best guess
19:13
at this,
19:14
perhaps the significance
19:15
of verse 39.
19:17
Why did Mark record
19:18
that he had them sit down
19:20
on the green grass?
19:22
Is that important
19:23
in any way
19:23
to the story?
19:25
I believe it is.
19:27
I believe that Jesus
19:28
had them sit down
19:29
in these groups
19:30
on the green grass
19:31
to say to him,
19:32
I am the good shepherd.
19:35
I am the better David.
19:37
I will lead you
19:39
to the good grass.
19:42
Maybe coming to your mind
19:43
is Psalm 23,
19:45
verse 1-3.
19:45
The Lord is my shepherd.
19:47
I shall not want.
19:48
He makes me lie down
19:49
in green pastures.
19:50
He leads me
19:50
beside still waters.
19:52
He restores my soul.
19:55
He leads me
19:55
in paths of righteousness
19:56
for his name's sake.
19:59
I would hope
20:00
that if we were there,
20:02
being sat down
20:03
in green grass,
20:04
being fed,
20:07
being put in these groups
20:08
in this way,
20:09
and that this man
20:10
who claims he's
20:11
the Son of God,
20:12
that he is the Christ,
20:13
is teaching the coming
20:13
of the kingdom,
20:14
we would remember
20:15
Psalm 23, 1-3,
20:17
this inspired text.
20:18
They would have known
20:19
these words.
20:20
And we would go,
20:21
ah, Jesus.
20:23
Jesus is the Christ.
20:24
Look at all the things
20:25
he's doing.
20:25
He's fulfilling prophecies.
20:27
He is the greater Moses.
20:29
He is the greater David.
20:32
John 10,
20:33
verses 11-16.
20:34
Famous.
20:36
I hope you're familiar
20:37
with this.
20:37
I am the good shepherd.
20:39
The good shepherd
20:39
lays down his life
20:40
for the sheep.
20:42
He who is a hired hand
20:43
and not a shepherd
20:43
who does not own the sheep
20:44
sees the wolf coming
20:45
and leaves the sheep
20:46
and flees.
20:47
And the wolf snatches them
20:48
and scatters them.
20:50
He flees because
20:51
he is a hired hand
20:51
and cares nothing
20:52
for the sheep.
20:55
In relation to that,
20:56
in contrast to that,
20:57
verse 14,
20:58
I am the good shepherd.
21:00
I know my own
21:01
and my own know me.
21:03
Just as the Father
21:04
knows me
21:05
and I know the Father
21:05
and I lay down my life
21:07
for the sheep.
21:09
And then praise God
21:09
for verse 16.
21:11
This is us.
21:11
This includes
21:12
those of us
21:13
who are not of Jewish descent.
21:15
And I have other sheep
21:16
that are not of this fold.
21:18
I must bring them also
21:19
and they will listen
21:20
to my voice
21:21
so there will be
21:21
one flock,
21:22
one shepherd.
21:24
Do you see what
21:25
he's doing for them
21:26
and he's painting
21:27
this last picture
21:28
in the land of Galilee
21:30
before he moves off
21:31
to the coast
21:32
to call them
21:33
to himself.
21:34
We see a great
21:35
gospel proclamation
21:37
in this miracle.
21:40
So what for us
21:41
is the application
21:41
then of this?
21:44
It's certainly to believe.
21:45
To be clear.
21:46
It's certainly to believe
21:47
that Jesus is in fact
21:48
the Christ.
21:49
To recognize
21:50
that all of these miracles
21:51
are led to point us
21:52
to the validity
21:53
of his message
21:55
and we're going to
21:55
address that later.
21:57
But speaking specifically
21:58
of his compassion
21:59
we ought to emulate Christ
22:01
and be compassionate.
22:03
We ought to have
22:04
the same type
22:05
of heart in us.
22:07
In fact,
22:07
Colossians 3.12
22:08
Paul says,
22:09
put on then
22:09
as God's chosen ones
22:11
his sheep
22:11
holy and beloved
22:13
compassionate hearts.
22:15
The objects of that compassion
22:16
are the church
22:18
and the world.
22:19
Those who are yet
22:20
to be part of the church.
22:21
So we want to go
22:22
and we want to share
22:22
the gospel far and wide.
22:24
We want to be compassionate.
22:25
We want to remember
22:26
where we once were
22:27
the sin that we were
22:28
delivered from
22:29
the death that awaited us
22:30
and have compassion
22:31
on others
22:32
who are awaiting
22:33
the same thing.
22:34
Do you have
22:34
eternal mindset
22:36
when you look
22:37
at your neighbors
22:37
and your classmates
22:38
and your co-workers?
22:39
Do you look at them
22:40
and say if they don't
22:41
have Christ
22:42
their eternal doom
22:44
is damnation?
22:45
It'll be miserable
22:46
forever
22:47
and you break
22:47
your heart break for them.
22:48
I don't think
22:49
that we
22:50
including myself
22:51
have hearts
22:52
broken enough
22:52
for the lost.
22:54
We don't remember
22:55
what we were delivered from.
22:56
We don't actually
22:57
understand the weight
22:58
of our sin.
22:59
We have a hard time
22:59
wrapping our minds
23:00
around what eternal
23:01
separation from God
23:02
would look like.
23:04
We don't have
23:05
compassionate hearts
23:05
but we should.
23:07
That should be
23:07
the response
23:08
to the compassion
23:09
of Jesus Christ.
23:11
Jesus finalized this
23:13
for us on the cross.
23:15
He went so much further
23:16
than a little
23:17
interruption
23:17
in his rest.
23:18
Christ.
23:19
He died on our behalf.
23:21
He died a miserable death.
23:22
The worst death
23:23
that's ever been created
23:23
in the world
23:24
he died.
23:25
And above and beyond that
23:26
he bore the wrath
23:28
of God
23:28
that was due
23:29
our sin
23:29
in himself
23:30
that we might have life.
23:32
That we might put on
23:33
his righteousness.
23:34
That when God
23:35
looks at us
23:36
he sees
23:37
Christ
23:38
beloved
23:38
this should make us
23:40
compassionate.
23:42
This should warm
23:42
our hearts
23:43
to the purposes
23:44
of Christ.
23:45
we should love
23:47
what Jesus loves
23:48
because Jesus
23:49
first loved us.
23:50
You know what Jesus loves?
23:51
He loves his church.
23:52
He loves his sheep.
23:54
He's gathering them in
23:55
even now.
23:58
So compassion.
24:01
Secondly
24:01
notice
24:03
the need
24:04
for communion.
24:07
Now I'm not talking
24:08
in this case
24:08
of the church ordinance
24:09
that we more commonly
24:10
call the Lord's Supper here.
24:12
I'm not talking about
24:13
that type of communion.
24:14
I'm talking about
24:15
the communion
24:17
the being with God.
24:19
The charging
24:19
that we get
24:20
when we plug in
24:21
to the source.
24:23
This is such
24:23
a wonderful picture
24:24
in this text
24:25
of Christ's
24:26
co-existent humanity
24:28
and deity.
24:29
We see his need
24:31
to step away
24:32
from things.
24:33
We see the human need
24:34
for it too.
24:35
Verse 31
24:36
and then again
24:37
in verse 45
24:38
we see that
24:39
Jesus is teaching
24:41
the apostles
24:41
to take
24:43
times of
24:43
restorative
24:44
rest.
24:46
Verse 31
24:46
he says
24:47
come away
24:47
by yourselves
24:48
a desolate place
24:49
and rest a while.
24:49
It's an imperative.
24:50
It's a command.
24:51
You've gone off.
24:52
You've been doing works.
24:53
You've been sharing
24:54
the gospel.
24:55
Now rest.
24:56
You need it.
24:57
You're human
24:57
and you're frail
24:58
and you will fall
24:59
and fail
25:00
at some point
25:01
if you don't
25:02
get
25:02
restorative
25:03
rest.
25:05
And then after
25:05
this account
25:06
he goes
25:07
and he's teaching
25:08
the apostles
25:09
get very involved
25:10
in this process.
25:10
They're handing out
25:11
food.
25:12
It would have
25:13
taken hours
25:14
I would imagine
25:15
to hand out
25:15
that much food
25:16
and after that
25:17
it says
25:17
immediately
25:18
he made his
25:19
disciples
25:20
get into a boat
25:21
verse 45
25:22
and go before him
25:23
to the other side
25:24
to Bethsaida
25:24
while he dismissed
25:25
the crowd.
25:26
Now I think
25:27
that this happened
25:27
primarily because
25:28
if you look
25:29
in the other accounts
25:29
like John's account
25:31
it records
25:32
that they were
25:33
looking to take him
25:33
by force
25:34
to make him king.
25:36
This group
25:36
that had traveled
25:37
out into the wilderness
25:37
seemed to be
25:38
rebels against Rome
25:40
and they wanted
25:40
to grab Jesus
25:42
and make him king
25:43
that he might lead them.
25:44
He'd done miracles
25:44
right?
25:45
This must be the one
25:46
that's going to lead us
25:46
in triumph
25:47
in a war
25:48
against Rome.
25:50
And so he sends
25:50
the apostles away
25:51
he gets them
25:52
out of that scene
25:53
he gets them gone
25:54
right?
25:54
He was the hubbub
25:55
like he was the one
25:56
attracting all the attention
25:57
and they were able
25:58
then to go
25:59
and to rest
26:00
so he sends them away.
26:02
But what does he do
26:03
when that happens?
26:04
So they take this time
26:05
of restorative rest
26:06
and we must
26:06
do the same
26:07
but that's what we can learn
26:08
as he's teaching them
26:10
go and rest
26:11
take some time
26:12
with your family
26:13
get some sleep
26:14
college students
26:15
it's very important
26:16
I believe that
26:17
Christian people
26:17
ought to be
26:17
the busiest people
26:18
because we're working
26:19
on the kingdom of God
26:20
but take time
26:22
for rest
26:23
eight hours
26:24
you know that
26:25
most people need
26:26
eight hours of sleep
26:27
to be charged
26:27
I think I average
26:28
about six
26:29
which is not healthy
26:30
eight hours
26:31
get some rest
26:32
restore
26:33
get away
26:34
take vacations
26:35
do those types
26:36
of things
26:36
but the greater lesson
26:37
we learn is what
26:38
Jesus goes and does
26:39
he steps away
26:40
on the mountain
26:42
to pray
26:42
so we see
26:43
restorative rest
26:44
we also see
26:45
private prayer
26:47
now you've got to
26:49
keep in mind
26:49
Jesus is constantly
26:50
setting for us
26:51
example
26:52
but it's not that
26:53
he didn't need it
26:53
it's not that he
26:54
didn't need the
26:55
private prayer
26:55
and he's just
26:56
setting an example
26:57
for us
26:57
but he needed it
26:58
as well
26:58
he needed to
26:58
abide with the
26:59
father
26:59
he was getting
27:00
every directive
27:01
from the father
27:02
he needed to
27:02
step away
27:03
he needed to
27:04
spend time
27:04
in the scriptures
27:05
and in prayer
27:06
with God
27:07
communing
27:08
with him
27:09
John Owen
27:11
wrote a wonderful
27:11
book called
27:12
Communion with God
27:13
and in it he said
27:14
the love of God
27:16
is like himself
27:17
equal
27:18
constant
27:19
not capable
27:20
of augmentation
27:21
or diminution
27:22
our love
27:23
is like
27:24
ourselves
27:25
our love
27:26
is like ourselves
27:26
unequal
27:27
increasing
27:28
waning
27:29
growing
27:30
declining
27:31
his like the sun
27:33
always the same
27:34
in its light
27:35
though a cloud
27:35
may sometimes
27:36
interpose
27:37
ours as the moon
27:39
has its enlargements
27:41
and straightenings
27:42
if we're meant to love
27:44
like Christ
27:45
this is what we're
27:46
called to do
27:47
we must spend
27:49
much time
27:50
alone
27:51
with God
27:52
if we are to be
27:53
of any value
27:54
for anyone
27:55
in this world
27:56
we must first
27:57
value God
27:58
above everything
28:00
and everyone
28:00
in this world
28:01
you know how you come to
28:02
value him
28:04
to make him your
28:05
treasure above all
28:06
else
28:06
you know him
28:07
I promise if you
28:09
know God
28:10
not just know things
28:11
about God
28:11
list of facts
28:12
about him
28:13
but if you know him
28:13
if you spend time
28:15
abiding with him
28:16
if you are in
28:17
communion with him
28:18
in this way
28:19
and you know him
28:20
you will treasure him
28:21
above all else
28:22
here's the greatest
28:22
thing by very
28:23
definition
28:23
if he is God
28:25
he made all things
28:26
and therefore he is
28:26
better than all things
28:28
and not in a
28:29
slight way
28:31
but if we put him
28:31
on the scale
28:32
it would tip
28:33
dramatically
28:34
right
28:35
there's no comparison
28:36
to the thing
28:36
the things of the world
28:37
go strangely dim
28:38
in the light
28:39
of his glorious face
28:40
this is the picture
28:41
that we're getting there
28:42
we must commune
28:43
with God
28:44
to be good
28:45
for anything
28:46
in this world
28:46
Jesus said it like this
28:47
in John 15 5
28:48
I am the vine
28:49
you are the branches
28:51
whoever abides in me
28:53
and I in him
28:54
he it is
28:55
that bears
28:56
much fruit
28:57
now hear this
28:57
just let this
28:58
resonate in your brain
28:59
for apart from me
29:01
you can do
29:02
nothing
29:03
apart from me
29:05
you can do
29:06
nothing
29:07
so if we love our Christ
29:08
for what he's done for us
29:09
if we want to serve him
29:10
if we want to be effective
29:11
in the kingdom
29:11
we must abide with him
29:14
this is the very first step
29:15
in the process
29:16
we must
29:17
and if you find yourself
29:19
in a place where you
29:19
struggle with that
29:20
as I do quite often
29:21
I find myself constantly
29:23
day in and day out
29:24
doing the work of God
29:25
and everything I'm doing
29:27
is arranged around that
29:28
leading a church
29:28
and studying
29:29
and doing those things
29:30
and I find sometimes
29:31
that imperceptibly
29:32
I drift off course
29:33
and suddenly I'm just
29:35
academic
29:35
or I'm just
29:37
a businessman
29:38
planning and plotting
29:39
a course
29:39
right
29:40
I step away from the fact
29:41
that I need
29:42
to soak
29:43
in who he is
29:44
right
29:45
that when I do that
29:45
I can pour out
29:46
a sponge
29:47
I can soak up
29:48
and be squeezed out
29:49
and soak up
29:49
and be squeezed out
29:50
but I let myself
29:51
get squeezed out
29:52
and I don't soak again
29:54
right
29:54
I step away
29:55
from that
29:56
it's like a compass
29:57
many of you know
29:58
the way compasses
29:59
function
29:59
if you just turn
29:59
in a little degree
30:00
and walk ten feet
30:01
you're really in the
30:02
same place
30:03
it's imperceptible
30:04
you can't even notice
30:05
that you're off the course
30:06
but if you go a mile
30:07
that way
30:07
it's suddenly you're
30:08
getting further
30:08
and further
30:09
and further away
30:10
from where you need
30:11
to be
30:11
we must
30:12
come back
30:13
to private prayer
30:14
we must
30:15
spend time
30:16
knowing
30:17
God
30:18
if you find yourself
30:20
in that place
30:20
there's some
30:21
there's some great
30:22
rest for us
30:23
there's some great
30:23
promises
30:24
psalm 46
30:26
verse 10
30:26
God says
30:27
be still
30:28
and know
30:29
that I
30:30
am God
30:30
be still
30:32
and know
30:32
that I
30:32
am God
30:33
I will be
30:34
exalted
30:34
among the nations
30:35
I will
30:36
be exalted
30:37
in the earth
30:38
this is a great
30:39
comfort to my soul
30:40
my great desire
30:42
is that God
30:42
be exalted
30:43
among the nations
30:43
my great desire
30:44
is that God
30:45
be exalted
30:45
in this entire world
30:47
and then I go
30:47
what I gotta do
30:48
to get that done
30:49
what is my part
30:51
to play in that
30:51
what do I have to do
30:52
and I can become
30:53
exhausted because of that
30:55
and he says to me
30:55
be still
30:56
you're not God
30:58
I am
30:58
be a tool in my hand
31:01
I've got it all
31:02
under control
31:03
Psalm 127
31:05
Song of Solomon
31:07
verse 1 and 2
31:08
unless the Lord
31:09
builds the house
31:10
those who build it
31:11
labor in vain
31:12
unless the Lord
31:13
watches over the city
31:14
the watchman
31:15
stays awake
31:16
in vain
31:17
it is in vain
31:18
that you rise up early
31:19
and go late to rest
31:20
eating the bread
31:21
of anxious toil
31:22
for he gives
31:24
to his beloved
31:25
sleep
31:26
and the teaching
31:27
here is not
31:28
sleep in
31:29
right
31:30
and go to bed early
31:31
it's not the teaching
31:32
it's all he's trying to say
31:33
get up early
31:34
there's much value
31:35
in getting up early
31:36
but when you do so
31:37
because you know
31:38
you've got to do it
31:39
you know you've got to accomplish
31:40
you're anxious
31:41
about the work
31:42
that's ahead of you
31:43
he says
31:44
no sleep
31:45
sleep and rest
31:46
the Lord
31:47
is building a house
31:48
the Lord
31:48
is keeping watch
31:50
over the city
31:51
so we need these things
31:53
we need private prayer
31:55
we need restorative rest
31:57
and that's the application
31:58
for us
31:59
as we labor for the kingdom
32:00
we must also rest
32:01
in the goodness of God
32:03
in the face of Jesus Christ
32:05
that's how you charge
32:06
for spiritual work
32:07
you remember
32:08
the goodness
32:09
of the gospel
32:10
Matthew chapter 11
32:12
28-30
32:13
Jesus says
32:14
come to me
32:15
all you who labor
32:16
and are heavy laden
32:17
and I will give you
32:19
rest
32:19
take my yoke upon you
32:21
and learn from me
32:22
for I am gentle
32:23
and lowly in heart
32:24
and you will find rest
32:25
for your souls
32:26
for my yoke is easy
32:27
and my burden
32:28
is light
32:29
how do we do this
32:31
practically
32:32
how do we do this
32:33
spend time
32:35
in the inerrant
32:36
sufficient
32:36
powerful word of God
32:37
right
32:37
this has been given to us
32:39
that we might know
32:40
God
32:41
stop neglecting it
32:43
it is a gift to us
32:44
it is a grace
32:45
you have
32:46
copies upon copies
32:48
on your shelf
32:48
I was at a conference
32:50
this week
32:50
where a group
32:52
in the third world country
32:54
they had a program
32:55
where when you went
32:55
to the bookstore
32:56
you could buy a bible
32:57
and then take it
32:58
and go stick it on a pallet
32:59
and they were going to
32:59
pack them up
33:00
and send them
33:00
because the pastors
33:02
didn't have bibles
33:02
in this country
33:03
right
33:04
we were worried about
33:05
the people at this point
33:06
the members of the church
33:07
it was the pastors
33:08
that were having a hard time
33:08
accessing bibles
33:10
in this country
33:11
we have got them
33:12
in abundance
33:13
we've got copies
33:14
upon copies
33:14
upon copies
33:15
you can access the internet
33:17
and get any translation
33:18
that you want
33:19
with helpful study notes
33:21
right
33:21
stop neglecting it
33:22
it is a gift
33:23
to you
33:24
and pray
33:25
respond
33:26
to what God is saying
33:27
as he speaks to you
33:28
speak back to him
33:30
God is available
33:31
and wants
33:32
a relationship with you
33:33
draw near to him
33:34
and he will draw
33:35
near to you
33:36
in A.T. Pearson's biography
33:38
of George Mueller
33:39
called George Mueller of Bristol
33:40
which I would really commend to you
33:42
it's a wonderful read
33:42
he wrote
33:44
the most intimate knowledge of God
33:45
it's possible
33:46
on one condition
33:47
that we search his holy scriptures
33:49
prayerfully
33:50
and habitually
33:51
and translate
33:52
what we there find
33:53
into obedience
33:55
there are promises
33:57
a wonderful promise
33:59
that comes
33:59
if we will devote ourselves
34:00
to this
34:01
the study of the scripture
34:02
prayerfully
34:03
habitually
34:04
and be obedient
34:06
in this
34:07
there's a promise
34:07
that's found in both testaments
34:08
Psalm 1-3
34:09
after he speaks of
34:11
the man who delights
34:12
in the law of the Lord
34:13
it says
34:13
in all that he does
34:14
he prospers
34:16
in James 1-25
34:17
it says
34:18
but the one who looks
34:19
into the perfect law
34:20
the law of liberty
34:21
and perseveres
34:22
is obedient
34:23
to the end
34:24
being no hearer
34:25
who forgets
34:26
but a doer
34:27
who acts
34:28
he will be blessed
34:29
in his doing
34:31
do you want the work
34:33
that you do
34:33
for the kingdom of God
34:35
to be blessed
34:36
to be fruitful
34:37
to be beneficial
34:37
if you love Jesus
34:39
you'll want that
34:39
if you love Jesus rightly
34:41
you will want this
34:42
to be the case
34:43
this is what we must do
34:44
this is what we must do
34:46
and it is a joy
34:48
to do it
34:49
so we see the compassion
34:51
of Christ
34:52
we see
34:52
our great need
34:54
for communion
34:54
with God
34:56
but we also see
34:58
condemnation
34:59
thirdly
35:01
we also see
35:02
condemnation
35:03
there's this
35:05
massive group of people
35:07
and we are seeing this
35:08
time and time
35:09
again
35:10
in the gospel of Mark
35:11
this great throng
35:12
that surrounds Jesus
35:14
and they're coming
35:15
to him
35:15
for what Jesus
35:16
can do for them
35:17
in this world
35:18
they want healing
35:20
they want to show
35:21
they want to see
35:22
some new miracle
35:23
some display
35:24
of power
35:25
we would be the same way
35:26
we hear that some guys
35:28
in Dahlonega
35:28
healing sick people
35:29
like people who can't
35:31
walk or walking
35:31
we'd want to go see
35:32
that kind of thing
35:34
and they never
35:35
hear the message
35:36
they never hear
35:37
what he's actually
35:39
trying to say
35:40
and we know this
35:41
because after Jesus
35:42
is crucified
35:43
and resurrected
35:44
we see a very small
35:46
number of disciples
35:48
still gathered
35:48
150 in the upper room
35:50
I'm sure that there
35:51
were more
35:52
there were probably
35:52
some in the Gentile
35:53
region
35:54
but we don't see
35:55
much record of this
35:56
where did they go
35:58
you go from
35:58
20,000 to 150
36:00
it's a fraction
36:01
of that
36:02
were these disciples
36:03
were these true
36:05
followers of Jesus Christ
36:06
no
36:06
they were coming to him
36:09
for what they could gain
36:10
they wanted
36:10
the promises
36:11
the benefits
36:12
without the obedience
36:14
of it
36:15
this is a dangerous thing
36:17
and this is what speaks
36:18
to our church
36:18
in a great way
36:19
do you find yourself
36:20
in that position
36:21
you come for the benefit
36:23
what you think Christ
36:24
can accomplish
36:24
on your behalf
36:25
but you're not willing
36:26
to be obedient
36:27
you're not willing
36:27
to see
36:28
that the kingdom of God
36:29
is not
36:30
not on a scale
36:31
but it's a difference
36:32
you become a new person
36:33
right
36:34
you no longer live
36:35
in the realm
36:36
of this world
36:37
serving the father
36:38
of that
36:38
the devil
36:39
of lies
36:39
you now serve
36:41
Jesus Christ
36:42
and everything
36:42
in your life
36:43
bows to who he is
36:44
I fear that that's
36:47
the case
36:47
in many
36:49
many
36:49
many churches
36:50
and possibly
36:50
in ours
36:52
look
36:54
further down
36:55
we see this
36:55
this massive group
36:56
of people
36:56
we know that
36:57
not all of them
36:58
are true disciples
36:58
of Christ
36:59
but look even
37:00
at the apostles
37:01
down in
37:02
verse 52
37:05
verse 51
37:07
and they were
37:09
utterly astounded
37:10
they were
37:11
utterly astounded
37:13
at what had
37:13
happened
37:13
he had walked
37:14
on water
37:14
he had gotten
37:15
in the boat
37:15
they had already
37:16
seen so many
37:18
miracles
37:18
they were
37:19
utterly astounded
37:19
!
37:19
for they did
37:21
not understand
37:22
about the
37:23
loaves
37:24
but their
37:24
hearts
37:25
were hardened
37:26
and that phrase
37:26
they did not
37:27
understand about
37:28
the loaves
37:28
really
37:29
vexed my
37:30
mind
37:30
these last
37:31
couple of
37:31
weeks
37:31
what?
37:34
I believe
37:34
that Mark
37:35
was inspired
37:36
by the Holy
37:36
Spirit
37:36
to write
37:37
these words
37:37
in this
37:38
way
37:39
the original
37:40
text
37:40
means that
37:41
I looked
37:41
it up
37:41
that's
37:42
what it
37:42
means
37:42
they did
37:43
not
37:43
understand
37:44
about
37:45
the loaves
37:46
so here's
37:46
this interjection
37:47
for him
37:47
to help
37:48
us understand
37:48
what was
37:49
going on
37:50
why did
37:51
they not
37:51
understand
37:52
and I will
37:52
tell you
37:52
that the
37:53
question
37:53
in verse
37:54
51
37:54
of
37:56
chapter 4
37:58
they said
37:59
after he
37:59
calmed the
38:00
storm
38:00
on the
38:00
sea of
38:01
Galilee
38:01
who then
38:02
is this
38:02
that even
38:03
the wind
38:03
and the
38:04
sea
38:04
obey him
38:05
they were
38:05
still
38:05
questioning
38:06
who
38:06
Jesus
38:07
was
38:08
they've
38:09
already
38:09
been sent
38:09
down
38:10
on a
38:10
mission
38:10
trip
38:10
and they
38:11
still don't
38:12
have it
38:12
clear in
38:13
their minds
38:13
who
38:14
Jesus
38:14
is
38:15
Jesus
38:15
is
38:16
the
38:17
Christ
38:17
and they
38:17
didn't
38:17
quite
38:18
get it
38:19
at this
38:19
point
38:20
so I
38:21
want you
38:21
to go
38:22
with me
38:22
we're
38:22
going to
38:22
do a
38:22
little
38:22
work
38:24
in John
38:24
chapter 6
38:25
starting
38:26
in verse
38:26
22
38:26
I want you
38:27
to turn
38:27
with me
38:27
there
38:27
John
38:33
chapter 6
38:33
verse 22
38:34
this is
38:35
John's
38:36
account
38:36
what followed
38:37
right after
38:38
the same
38:38
story
38:39
right
38:39
so we're
38:39
looking
38:40
if you
38:40
look at
38:40
chapter 6
38:40
Jesus
38:42
beats
38:42
5,000
38:42
Jesus
38:43
walks on
38:43
water
38:44
and the
38:44
beginning
38:44
of verse
38:45
22
38:45
here's
38:46
kind of
38:47
the story
38:47
following
38:48
this
38:48
okay
38:48
so verse
38:48
22
38:49
on the
38:51
next day
38:51
the crowd
38:51
that remained
38:52
on the
38:52
other side
38:52
of the sea
38:53
saw that
38:54
there had
38:54
been
38:54
only one
38:55
boat
38:56
there
38:56
and that
38:57
Jesus
38:57
had not
38:58
entered
38:58
the boat
38:58
with his
38:59
disciples
38:59
but that
39:00
his disciples
39:00
had gone
39:01
away
39:01
alone
39:01
other boats
39:02
from Niberius
39:03
came near
39:03
the place
39:04
where they
39:04
had eaten
39:05
the bread
39:05
after the
39:06
Lord had
39:06
given
39:06
thanks
39:06
so when
39:07
the crowd
39:07
saw that
39:08
Jesus
39:08
was not
39:08
there
39:08
nor
39:08
his
39:09
disciples
39:09
they
39:09
themselves
39:10
got into
39:10
the boats
39:11
and went
39:11
to Capernaum
39:12
seeking
39:12
Jesus
39:12
so
39:13
there was
39:14
only one
39:14
boat
39:15
and they
39:15
knew
39:15
Jesus
39:15
didn't
39:15
get in
39:16
it
39:16
he
39:16
dismissed
39:17
the
39:17
apostles
39:18
while he
39:18
was
39:18
dismissing
39:18
the crowd
39:19
they got
39:19
in
39:19
they took
39:19
off
39:20
they knew
39:20
he didn't
39:21
get in
39:21
that boat
39:21
but then
39:22
where did
39:22
he go
39:23
so some
39:24
other boats
39:24
come by
39:24
and they
39:25
get in
39:25
and they
39:25
follow him
39:26
over to
39:26
Capernaum
39:27
to look
39:27
for him
39:28
verse 25
39:29
when they
39:30
found him
39:30
on the
39:30
other side
39:30
of the
39:31
sea
39:31
they said
39:31
to him
39:32
rabbi
39:33
when did
39:33
you come
39:34
here
39:34
Jesus
39:35
answered
39:35
them
39:36
truly
39:36
truly
39:36
I say
39:36
to you
39:37
you are
39:38
seeking
39:38
me
39:39
here we
39:39
go
39:40
not
39:40
because
39:42
you saw
39:42
signs
39:43
but because
39:43
you ate
39:44
your fill
39:44
of the
39:45
loaves
39:45
do not
39:47
labor
39:47
for the
39:48
food
39:48
that
39:48
perishes
39:48
but for
39:49
the food
39:49
that
39:50
endures
39:50
to eternal
39:51
life
39:52
which the
39:52
son of
39:53
man
39:53
will give
39:53
to you
39:53
for on
39:54
him
39:55
God
39:55
the
39:55
father
39:55
has
39:56
set
39:56
his
39:57
seal
39:57
then
39:58
they
39:59
said
39:59
to
39:59
him
40:00
and
40:01
this
40:01
sounds
40:01
like a
40:01
really
40:01
good
40:02
honest
40:02
question
40:02
what
40:03
must
40:03
we
40:04
do
40:04
to
40:04
be
40:04
doing
40:04
the
40:05
works
40:05
of
40:06
God
40:07
what
40:08
must
40:08
you
40:08
do
40:08
to
40:08
be
40:08
doing
40:09
the
40:09
works
40:09
of
40:09
God
40:09
but
40:09
look
40:09
at
40:09
Jesus'
40:10
response
40:10
as he
40:10
knows
40:11
what's
40:11
going
40:11
on
40:11
in
40:11
their
40:11
hearts
40:11
Jesus
40:12
answered
40:12
them
40:12
this
40:13
is
40:13
the
40:13
work
40:13
of
40:14
God
40:14
that
40:14
you
40:14
believe
40:15
in
40:15
him
40:15
and
40:16
whom
40:16
he
40:16
has
40:16
sent
40:16
so
40:17
there's
40:17
the
40:17
work
40:18
of
40:18
God
40:18
that
40:18
we
40:18
believe
40:18
that
40:18
Jesus
40:19
is
40:20
the
40:20
Christ
40:21
this
40:21
is
40:21
not
40:21
what
40:21
they
40:22
wanted
40:22
was
40:23
to
40:23
be
40:23
able
40:23
to
40:23
do
40:23
!
40:24
what
40:24
must
40:25
we
40:25
do
40:25
to
40:26
also
40:26
turn
40:27
loaves
40:28
into
40:28
more
40:28
and
40:28
more
40:28
loaves
40:29
to
40:29
eat
40:29
our
40:29
fill
40:29
so
40:31
they
40:31
said
40:31
to
40:31
him
40:32
then
40:33
what
40:33
sign
40:33
do
40:34
you
40:34
do
40:34
that
40:35
we
40:35
may
40:35
see
40:35
and
40:36
believe
40:36
you
40:36
what
40:37
work
40:37
do
40:37
you
40:38
perform
40:38
our
40:39
fathers
40:40
ate
40:40
the
40:40
manna
40:40
in
40:40
the
40:40
wilderness
40:41
as
40:41
it
40:41
is
40:41
written
40:42
he
40:42
gave
40:42
them
40:42
bread
40:43
from
40:43
heaven
40:44
to
40:44
eat
40:44
so
40:44
they
40:44
quote
40:44
some
40:44
old
40:45
testament
40:45
scripture
40:45
right
40:46
the
40:46
sign
40:46
of
40:46
Moses
40:47
was
40:47
that
40:47
God
40:47
gave
40:48
manna
40:48
for
40:48
them
40:48
to
40:48
eat
40:48
what
40:49
sign
40:49
do
40:49
you
40:49
do
40:50
as
40:50
if
40:50
what
40:50
he
40:51
had
40:51
done
40:51
the day
40:51
before
40:51
wasn't
40:51
enough
40:52
Jesus
40:52
then
40:52
said
40:53
to
40:53
them
40:53
truly
40:53
I
40:54
say
40:54
to
40:54
you
40:54
it
40:54
was
40:54
not
40:55
Moses
40:55
!
40:55
who
40:55
gave
40:56
you
40:56
the
40:56
bread
40:56
from
40:56
heaven
40:56
but
40:57
my
40:57
father
40:57
gives
40:58
you
40:58
the
40:58
true
40:59
bread
40:59
from
40:59
heaven
41:00
for
41:00
the
41:00
bread
41:01
of
41:01
God
41:01
is
41:02
he
41:02
who
41:03
comes
41:03
down
41:03
from
41:04
heaven
41:04
and
41:04
gives
41:04
life
41:05
to
41:05
the
41:05
world
41:06
they
41:06
said
41:07
to
41:07
him
41:07
sir
41:08
give
41:09
us
41:09
this
41:09
bread
41:10
always
41:10
they
41:10
still
41:10
had
41:11
no
41:11
idea
41:11
what
41:11
he
41:11
was
41:11
talking
41:12
about
41:12
right
41:12
now
41:13
they're
41:13
saying
41:13
please
41:14
this
41:14
manna
41:15
that
41:15
came
41:16
down
41:16
and
41:16
constantly
41:17
fed
41:17
and
41:17
provided
41:18
for
41:18
the
41:18
people
41:18
of
41:18
God
41:18
give
41:19
us
41:19
bread
41:19
constantly
41:20
right
41:21
what
41:21
a
41:21
great
41:22
world
41:22
that
41:22
would
41:22
be
41:22
if
41:22
food
41:22
just
41:23
dropped
41:23
in
41:23
our
41:23
laps
41:24
in
41:24
that
41:24
way
41:25
Jesus
41:26
said
41:26
to
41:26
them
41:27
I
41:27
am
41:28
the
41:28
bread
41:28
of
41:28
life
41:29
whoever
41:30
comes
41:30
to
41:30
me
41:30
shall
41:30
not
41:30
hunger
41:31
and
41:31
whoever
41:31
believes
41:32
in
41:32
me
41:32
shall
41:32
never
41:32
thirst
41:33
but
41:33
I
41:34
said
41:34
to
41:34
you
41:34
that
41:34
you
41:35
have
41:35
seen
41:35
me
41:36
and
41:36
yet
41:36
do
41:37
not
41:37
believe
41:38
all
41:39
that
41:39
the
41:39
!
41:39
Father
41:39
gives
41:40
me
41:40
will
41:40
come
41:40
to
41:40
me
41:48
what a
42:03
beautiful
42:04
gospel
42:05
coming
42:05
kingdom
42:06
of
42:06
God
42:06
presentation
42:07
that is
42:08
here's
42:08
the
42:09
response
42:09
so
42:10
the
42:10
Jews
42:11
grumbled
42:11
about
42:12
him
42:12
because
42:13
he
42:13
said
42:13
I
42:14
am
42:14
the
42:14
bread
42:14
that
42:15
came
42:15
down
42:15
from
42:15
heaven
42:16
right
42:16
there's
42:16
another
42:16
type
42:17
for
42:17
you
42:17
the
42:17
manna
42:18
is
42:18
a
42:19
type
42:19
of
42:20
Christ
42:20
they
42:21
said
42:21
is
42:22
not
42:22
this
42:22
Jesus
42:23
the
42:23
son
42:23
of
42:23
Joseph
42:24
whose
42:24
father
42:24
and
42:25
mother
42:25
we
42:25
know
42:25
how
42:26
does
42:26
he
42:26
now
42:27
say
42:27
I
42:27
have
42:27
come
42:28
down
42:28
from
42:28
heaven
42:29
Jesus
42:30
answered
42:30
them
42:30
do
42:32
not
42:32
grumble
42:33
among
42:33
yourselves
42:33
no
42:34
one
42:35
can
42:35
come
42:35
to
42:35
me
42:35
unless
42:36
the
42:36
father
42:36
who
42:36
sent
42:37
me
42:37
draws
42:37
him
42:37
and
42:38
I
42:38
will
42:38
raise
42:38
him
42:38
up
42:39
on
42:39
the
42:39
last
42:40
day
42:40
it
42:41
is
42:41
written
42:41
in
42:41
the
42:41
prophets
42:41
and
42:42
they
42:42
will
42:42
all
42:42
be
42:42
taught
42:43
by
42:43
God
42:43
everyone
42:44
who
42:44
has
42:44
heard
42:45
and
42:45
learned
42:45
from
42:45
the
42:45
father
42:46
comes
42:46
to
42:46
me
42:46
not
42:47
that
42:47
anyone
42:47
has
42:48
seen
42:48
the
42:48
father
42:48
except
42:48
he
42:49
who
42:49
is
42:49
from
42:49
God
42:49
he
42:50
has
42:50
seen
42:50
the
42:50
father
42:51
truly
42:51
truly
42:51
I
42:52
say
42:52
to
42:52
you
42:52
whoever
42:52
believes
42:53
has
42:53
eternal
42:54
life
42:54
I
42:55
am
42:55
the
42:55
bread
42:55
of
42:55
life
42:56
your
42:56
fathers
42:57
ate
42:57
the
42:57
man
42:57
in
42:57
the
42:57
wilderness
42:58
and
42:58
they
42:58
died
42:58
this
42:59
is
42:59
the
42:59
bread
42:59
that
42:59
come
43:00
down
43:00
from
43:00
heaven
43:00
so
43:00
that
43:12
is
43:12
my
43:12
flesh
43:13
already
43:14
begins
43:14
to
43:14
speak
43:15
of
43:15
his
43:15
death
43:15
now
43:16
do
43:16
you
43:16
see
43:16
now
43:17
why

apostles

mark

43:20
it

because
43:20
they
43:20
didn't
43:21
understand
43:21
the
43:22
loaves
43:22
because
43:23
this
43:23
is
43:24
what
43:24
Jesus
43:24
was
43:25
preaching
43:25
to
43:25
them
43:26
giving

them
43:26
sustenance

the

was

to
43:28
them
43:28
I
43:29
am
43:30
the

bread
43:30
of
43:31
life
43:32
verse
43:33
52
43:33
the
43:35
Jews
43:35
then
43:35
disputed
43:36
amongst
43:36
!
43:36
themselves
43:36
saying
43:37
how
43:37
can
43:37
this
43:37
man
43:38
!
43:38
give
43:38
flesh
43:38
to
43:39
eat
43:39
so
43:40
Jesus
43:40
said
43:40
to
43:40
them
43:41
truly
43:41
truly
43:42
I
43:42
say
43:42
to
43:42
you
43:42
which
43:42
is
43:42
a
43:42
way
43:43
of
43:43
saying
43:43
no
43:44
seriously
43:44
unless
43:47
you
43:47
eat
43:47
the
43:48
flesh
43:48
of
43:48
the
43:48
son
43:48
of
43:48
man
43:49
and
43:49
drink
43:49
his
43:49
blood
43:50
you
43:50
have
43:50
no
43:51
life
43:51
in
43:51
you
43:51
whoever
43:52
feeds
43:53
on
43:53
my

drinks
43:54
my

43:54
has
43:55
eternal
43:55
life
43:55
and
43:56
I
43:56
will
43:56
raise
43:56
him
43:56
up
43:56
on
43:56
the
43:57
last
43:57
day
43:57
for
43:58
my
43:58
flesh
43:58
is
43:59
true
43:59
food
43:59
and
43:59
my

44:08
whoever
44:09
feeds
44:09
on
44:09
me
44:09
he
44:10
also
44:10
will
44:10
live
44:10
because
44:11
of
44:11
me
44:11
this
44:12
is
44:12
the
44:12
bread
44:12
that
44:13
came
44:13
down
44:13
from
44:13
heaven
44:13
not
44:14
like
44:14
the
44:14
bread
44:14
the
44:14
fathers
44:15
ate
44:15
and
44:15
died
44:15
whoever
44:16
feeds
44:16
on
44:16
this
44:17
bread
44:17
will
44:17
live
44:18
forever
44:19
Jesus
44:20
said
44:20
these
44:20
things
44:20
in
44:21
the
44:21
synagogue
44:21
as
44:21
he
44:21
taught
44:22
at
44:22
Capernaum
44:23
when
44:24
many
44:24
of his
44:25
disciples
44:25
heard
44:25
it
44:25
they
44:25
said
44:26
this
44:27
is
44:27
a
44:27
hard
44:27
saying
44:28
who
44:29
can
44:29
listen
44:29
to
44:29
it
44:30
but
44:30
Jesus
44:31
knowing
44:31
in
44:31
himself
44:31
the
44:32
disciples
44:32
were
44:32
grumbling
44:32
about
44:33
this
44:33
said
44:33
to
44:33
them
44:33
do
44:34
you
44:34
take
44:34
offense
44:35
at
44:35
this
44:35
then
44:36
what
44:36
if
44:36
you
44:36
were
44:36
to
44:36
see
44:37
the
44:37
son
44:37
of
44:37
man
44:37
ascending
44:37
to
44:38
where
44:38
he
44:38
was
44:38
before
44:38
it
44:39
is
44:39
the
44:40
spirit
44:40
who
44:40
gives
44:40
life
44:41
the
44:41
flesh
44:41
is
44:41
no
44:42
help
44:42
at
44:42
all
44:42
the
44:43
words
44:43
that
44:43
I
44:43
have
44:44
spoken
44:44
to
44:44
you
44:44
are
44:44
spirit
44:45
and
44:45
life
44:46
but
44:46
there
44:47
are
44:47
some
44:47
of
44:47
you
44:47
who
44:48
do
44:48
not
44:48
believe
44:49
for
44:49
Jesus
44:50
knew
44:50
from
44:50
the
44:50
beginning
44:50
those
44:51
were
44:52
who
44:53
did
44:53
not
44:53
believe
44:53
and
44:54
who
44:54
it
44:54
was
44:54
who
44:54
would
44:54
betray
44:55
him
44:55
and
44:55
he
44:55
said
44:56
this
44:56
is
44:56
why
44:57
I
44:57
told
44:57
you
44:57
that
44:57
no
44:58
one
44:58
can
44:58
come
44:58
to
44:58
me
44:59
unless
44:59
it
44:59
is
44:59
granted
45:00
him
45:00
by
45:01
the
45:01
father
45:01
so
45:02
here
45:02
we
45:02
have
45:02
kind
45:03
of
45:03
centric
45:03
circles
45:04
we
45:04
have
45:04
a
45:05
larger
45:05
group
45:06
right
45:07
a
45:07
group
45:07
of
45:08
Jews
45:08
it
45:08
says
45:09
that
45:09
are
45:09
debating
45:10
this
45:10
having
45:10
a
45:10
very
45:11
difficult
45:11
time
45:11
with
45:11
the
45:12
teaching
45:12
and
45:12
it
45:12
narrows
45:13
down
45:13
a
45:13
little
45:13
bit
45:13
because
45:13
the
45:14
disciples
45:14
a
45:15
bigger
45:15
group
45:15
he's
45:16
not
45:16
speaking
45:16
of
45:16
the
45:16
twelve
45:16
at
45:17
this
45:17
point
45:17
a
45:17
larger
45:18
group
45:18
they
45:18
say
45:19
this
45:19
is
45:19
a
45:19
hard
45:19
saying
45:20
and
45:20
who
45:20
can
45:20
listen
45:21
to
45:21
it
45:21
and
45:21
his
45:21
response
45:22
to
45:22
them
45:22
is
45:22
not
45:23
all
45:23
of
45:23
you
45:23
believe
45:24
you
45:24
don't
45:24
understand
45:25
what
45:25
I'm
45:25
saying
45:25
to
45:25
you
45:25
because
45:26
not
45:26
all
45:26
of
45:26
you
45:26
believe
45:26
that's
45:27
why
45:27
I
45:27
told
45:28
you
45:28
no
45:28
one
45:28
can
45:28
come
45:29
to
45:29
me
45:29
unless
45:29
it
45:29
is
45:29
granted
45:29
him
45:30
by
45:30
the
45:30
father
45:30
and
45:31
then
45:31
we
45:31
see
45:31
a
45:32
smaller
45:32
circle
45:32
the
45:33
apostles
45:33
right
45:34
verse
45:35
66
45:35
after
45:36
this
45:36
many
45:37
of
45:37
his
45:37
disciples
45:37
turned
45:38
back
45:38
and
45:38
no
45:39
longer
45:39
walked
45:39
with
45:39
him
45:40
they
45:41
proved
45:41
themselves
45:42
to be
45:42
apostate
45:43
they
45:43
had
45:43
received
45:43
the
45:43
good
45:43
news
45:44
of
45:44
the
45:44
kingdom
45:44
and
45:45
they
45:45
turned
45:45
it
45:45
away
45:45
they
45:46
were
45:46
rocky
45:46
soil
45:47
they
45:47
sprang
45:47
up
45:48
for
45:48
a
45:48
while
45:48
remember
45:48
our
45:49
parable
45:49
the
45:49
!
45:49
sower
45:49
in
45:49
chapter
45:50
4
45:50
sprang
45:50
up
45:50
for
45:50
a
45:50
while
45:51
and
45:51
then
45:51
some
45:52
tribulation
45:53
comes
45:53
a
45:53
hard
45:54
teaching
45:54
a
45:54
difficult
45:55
thing
45:55
to
45:55
understand
45:56
and
45:56
they
45:56
walked
45:57
away
45:57
verse
45:58
67
45:59
so
45:59
Jesus
46:00
said to
46:00
the
46:00
twelve
46:00
do
46:01
you
46:01
want
46:01
to
46:02
go
46:02
away
46:02
as
46:02
well
46:02
Simon
46:04
Peter
46:05
answered
46:05
him
46:06
Lord
46:06
to
46:07
whom
46:08
shall
46:08
we
46:08
go
46:09
you
46:09
have
46:10
the
46:10
words
46:10
of
46:10
eternal
46:11
life
46:11
and
46:12
we
46:12
have
46:12
believed
46:13
and
46:13
come
46:13
to
46:13
know
46:13
that
46:14
you
46:14
are
46:15
the
46:15
holy
46:15
one
46:16
of
46:16
God
46:17
praise
46:18
God
46:18
the
46:20
closest
46:20
to
46:20
him
46:21
of
46:22
course
46:22
we
46:22
see
46:22
the
46:22
account
46:23
of
46:23
the
46:23
twelve
46:23
really
46:24
eleven
46:24
he
46:25
addresses
46:26
that
46:26
in
46:26
the
46:26
following
46:26
verses
46:27
but
46:29
they
46:29
had
46:29
gone
46:29
from
46:30
seeing
46:31
this
46:31
amazing
46:32
miracle
46:33
getting
46:33
in a
46:34
boat
46:34
seeing
46:34
Jesus
46:35
walk
46:35
on
46:35
the
46:35
water
46:36
not
46:36
understanding
46:37
the
46:37
loaves
46:38
they
46:38
didn't
46:38
get
46:39
what
46:39
was
46:39
going
46:39
on
46:39
there
46:40
and
46:40
sometime
46:40
in
46:41
between
46:41
they're
46:43
able to
46:43
make
46:44
this
46:44
proclamation
46:44
we
46:45
get
46:45
this
46:46
response
46:46
from
46:47
Simon
46:47
Peter
46:48
to
46:49
whom
46:49
shall
46:49
we
46:49
go
46:50
if
46:51
we
46:51
leave
46:51
where
46:51
would
46:52
we
46:52
go
46:52
you
46:53
have
46:53
the
46:54
words
46:54
of
46:54
eternal
46:54
life
46:54
and
46:54
we
46:55
have
46:55
believed
46:55
and
46:55
come
46:55
to
46:55
know
46:55
that
46:55
you
46:56
are
46:56
the
46:56
holy
46:56
one
46:57
of
46:57
God
46:57
you
46:57
are
46:58
the
46:58
Christ
46:59
and here
47:00
we see
47:00
that
47:00
great
47:00
realization
47:01
of that
47:02
happening
47:02
here
47:03
so we
47:04
see
47:04
in
47:04
our
47:04
text
47:05
you
47:05
can
47:05
turn
47:05
back
47:05
there
47:05
if
47:06
you'd
47:06
like
47:06
we
47:06
see
47:06
these
47:07
two
47:07
condemnation
47:09
people
47:10
who
47:10
do
47:10
not
47:10
believe
47:11
Jesus
47:11
is
47:11
the
47:11
!
47:12
the
47:13
!
47:20
that
47:20
is
47:20
the
47:20
guilt
47:21
that
47:21
gets
47:21
placed
47:21
on
47:21
them
47:21
the
47:22
weight
47:22
of
47:22
their
47:22
sin
47:23
has
47:23
bought
47:23
this
47:23
penalty
47:24
and
47:24
they
47:24
don't
47:24
believe
47:25
and
47:25
they're
47:25
damned
47:25
forever
47:26
what's
47:29
the
47:29
application
47:30
there?
47:30
what's
47:31
the
47:31
application?

49:01
I'm
