...he wasn't impressed with all of them. He knew they originally followed Him because of His miracles. Many just wanted to be fed. But there was a possibility they might be saved.
Jesus said food for the body is necessary, but not as essential as food for the inner man --the spirit.
Jewish Rabbis taught that when the Messiah came He would duplicate the miracle of the manna. Faith based on signs alone can lead a person astray. Even Satan is able to perform wonders.
It was God, not Moses, who gave the manna. Jesus came down from heaven as the true living Bread of Life. He came not only for Israeal but for the whole world. He came not just to sustain life, but to give life.
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
To come to Christ and believe on Him means to receive Him within, just as you receive food and drink.
