Jo 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of h

The people are struggling to understand Jesus' teachings. He has recently attempted to explain that His miracles are meant to point towards a greater truth. Rather than focus on material things, the people ought to be emphasizing eternal, heavenly things. In the same way, the bread provided by Jesus, like the manna provided by Moses, is only meant to be a sign. That sign should point people towards the "Bread of Life," which is a person sent by God (John 6:27–33), so that all who believe in Him will have eternal life (John 6:40). Once again, Jesus claims that He has "come down from heaven" (John 6:33). From the perspective of Jesus' critics, this is blasphemy, and will be part of their criticisms of Him during His arrest. Not only is this audacious, it would be absolutely immoral for a normal man to claim. This, however, is the primary theme of the gospel of John: that Jesus Christ is, in fact, God incarnate (John 20:31).
