ON “TRUE MOTIVATION”

Oh yes, John 6:41–51 uncovers the true motivation of the crowd following Jesus: selfishness. This passage is part of a long dialogue where Christ elucidates the meaning of His miracles. Jesus has just explained that He, Himself, is the ”Bread of Life” which people are meant to seek. In response, the people complain amongst themselves. Jesus will further explain what He means by claiming to be the ”Bread of Life.” This, as it turns out, will make the crowd even more agitated as the people move from seeking, to complaining, to outright argument using various weakened viewpoints.
