How Do We Receive Eternal Life? | John 6:41–59

What does Jesus mean when He calls Himself the bread of life? Continuing through the Gospel of John, Pastor Straton Michelle examines John 6:41–59 and Jesus’ teaching that He is the bread that comes down from heaven. The passage connects Jesus to the manna given to Israel in the wilderness while pointing to something greater: the eternal life found in Christ. The sermon explores Jesus’ identity, the mystery of God’s sovereignty and human response, and the meaning of Jesus’ words about eating His flesh and drinking His blood. It also considers the purpose of communion and how it points us back to the cross, what Christ has done for us, and His promised return.
