John 6:30-33 They said therefore to him, What sign show you then, that we may see, and believe you? what do you work?… Christ is heavenly meat and drink. "My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven" (John 6:32). Other meat and drink is terrene and earthly. Your bread grows out of the bowels of the earth. Your wine is the blood of an earthly grape. The flesh you eat is fed of the tender grass that springs out of the earth. If the earth should prove barren, you would soon feel a famine!, The king himself is served by the field" (Ecclesiastes 5:9). It is true, the blessing comes from heaven, but all the materials of meat and drink are earthly. But Jesus Christ is the Bread of heaven and the Wine of heaven. The manna came from the clouds only; but Christ from the beautiful heaven, even from the bosom of the Father. (Ralph Robinson.) Parallel Verses KJV: They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? |
