John 6

Do I work to eat or eat to work? Where is the purpose, the motivation to keep doing the old and new things that we do? When Jesus told his followers that by eating of his flesh would satisfy their hunger there is no way he intended the message to convey physical food. The fact that Jesus again brings up the idea of kIngdom work as satisfying food (6:27, the first time was in 4:14) should not be ignored. Physical and spiritual contentment is not found in meat and drink but through faith in Jesus.
