The Bread of Life

The day after 5,000 people had been fed with five loaves of bread and two small fish, the people tried to find Jesus. They went in boats and followed Him to Capernaum. John 6:22, 24

Jesus knew they had come only because they wanted Him to feed them again. John 6:26

He taught them that bread would keep them alive for a while but that there was another kind of bread they should seek—the bread of eternal life. He told them that He is that bread. John 6:27, 30–35

He taught them that He would sacrifice His life for them. If they would follow Him and believe in Him—the Bread of Life—they would gain everlasting life. John 6:47–51
