Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Andrew Belt, pastor at Christ Lutheran Church in Marshfield, WI, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study John 6:1-21. At the time of the Passover, Jesus is near the Sea of Galilee, where He heals many of the sick. Jesus lifts up His eyes to see the harvest field yet again, and He invites His disciples to see the work before them and trust Him to provide. Philip does not yet understand, and Andrew brings a boy with a little food to Jesus, though he too struggles. When Jesus has the people sit down on the grass, the provision of the Good Shepherd for His people comes into focus. He provides food for over five thousand people, but they misunderstand the sign and are ready to make Jesus king by force. Jesus withdraws, and His disciples head across the sea on their own. He comes to them by walking on the sea, bringing them joy at His presence. Still today, the Church has joy and peace to know that Jesus is with us. “The Word Made Flesh” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Gospel according
