Deuteronomy 26:1-11
Psalm 100
Philippians 4:4-9
John 6:25-35
First Reading
Those who were with Jesus by the sea are like people in every time and in every place: always wanting more. They had just received their fill from the loaves that Jesus had provided to feed the crowds (v. 26), and yet they asked Jesus for some sign so that they might believe in him. They wanted some bread from heaven like their ancestors had received in the wilderness. I wonder what was wrong with the bread they had just received from Jesus! If you did that, Jesus, then we'd know you were from God and we'd give you glory and praise and thanks.
