Pessimism & Optimism.
Jesus continues His ministry, performing miracles and teaching the crowds and His disciples. We’ve read thus far the nature of Christ, God on earth; we’ve read of the new birth in which all must obey (Jew & Gentile) for the forgiveness of sins. We’ve also read that the Gentiles were more open to Jesus than the Jews. We’ve also read of Jesus’ equality with the Father: He is Deity, Divine, not a created being, but He has always been, is, and will always be. We’ve read of His trial against the Jewish accusations. And now, in chapter six, we will read of another recorded account, a miracle, a teaching one, which not only points to something more significant (the word of Christ) but reveals the faith of His disciples (pessimism & optimism). One who sees facts without faith and one who considers faith without facts. The picture of an imbalance needs to be adjusted; Christ will do so.
Journey with us in this portion of Scripture as we learn how it applies to our lives.
