I. Introduction - We are all Hungry
Waiting on supper last night…Being hungry makes us irritable and miserable. [Snickers commercial].
Exalting Jesus in John Bread of Life (John 6:22–60)
There’s not a day that goes by in my house when someone doesn’t say, “I’m so hungry.” God created our bodies to run on food, and hunger is the warning system telling us we’re getting low. We feel the hunger. We hear the growling, and it causes us to think, I need to eat. That’s what keeps us alive. We’re also spiritually hungry. There’s a growling of the soul that indicates emptiness inside. We were made to live on some sort of fuel, but we’re not sure where to find it. We feel hungry, so we look for something to fill the emptiness inside us—something to quiet the hunger pangs in our hearts.

What we want vs what God provides
We want perishable food “work”

perishes
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
does not satisfy
God provides food that endures “gives”

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
