John 6:19

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus— Here he is. Here is the first of their blessings. The first mischief is removed, and the rest will soon go. They see Jesus. Joh_6:19. Walking on the sea, Oh, what a sight! A grander sight than to see him on the land; and it is a more glorious sight to see Christ in...

John 6:20

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they must have felt at ease at once as soon as they knew that it was Jesus who was walking towards them upon the water. Lord, if it be thou, fear would be foolish on our part; we are only too glad to have thy company.

John 6:21

Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. No sooner was Jesus with them than they were where they wanted to be. The presence of Christ works wonders for us, we are soon at our haven when the Lord of heaven comes to us.

John 6:21

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. The sea and the winds knew how not only to spare the vessel, but to carry it instantaneously to the place where they wished to be.

John 6:25

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? They could not understand how he could have got there. Jesus answered them, and did not answer them. Some of Christ’s answers are evidently no answer at all. That is very often the best answer you can give.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

You are...

John 6:27

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Labour not for the meat which perished, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Now, you quite understand what Jesus meant? Seek after that: which will feed your souls. Do not hunt so much after bread for the body. Yet the Saviour puts it very curiously....

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? “What are the best works that we can do? What are the most acceptable?” I wonder what they expected Christ to say. I am sure they did not look for the answer that they received.
