John 6:1-15

After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. John 6:1-4 

1. There Is No PROBLEM Too Big For Jesus to SOLVE. 

 
Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” John 6:5   

“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.” Mark 1:34 

“By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” Mark 6:35-36 

“But he answered, ‘You give them something to eat.’” Mark 6:37 

2. There Is No FAITH Too Strong For Jesus to STRENGTHEN.  

He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. John 6:6 

Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” John 6:7 

3. There Is No SACRIFICE Too Small For Jesus to SEE. 

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?” John 6:8-9 

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. John 6:10-11 

4. There Is No HUNGER Too Deep For Jesus to SATISFY. 

And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. John 6:12-13 
 
“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35 
  
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” Matthew 5:6 
  
When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!”15 Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself. John 6:14-15
