3 Wrong Reasons of John 6

3 Wrong Reasons why people followed Christ for awhile:

1) Miracles - they liked the sensational

And a great multitude followed him,

because they saw his miracles which he did...

John 6:2

2) Free Lunch - they liked the material

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks,

he distributed to the disciples,

and the disciples to them that were set down;

and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

John 6:11

3) Hopes for an earthly kingdom - they liked the idea of the political

When Jesus therefore perceived

that they would come and take him by force,

to make him a king,

 he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

John 6:15

 

Why they left following the Christ

(His preaching/teachings)

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it,

he said unto them,

Doth this offend you?....From that time many of his disciples went back,

and walked no more with him.

John 6:61,66
