Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

You think Jesus would have been happy that people were chasing Him down. When the people woke up the morning after Jesus had fed them, after feeding so many of them with five loaves of bread and two fish, and discovered He was no longer there, they went looking for Him, even sailing across the Sea of Galilee to find Him. That took some effort. And that's a good thing isn't it? Well apparently not. For when they find Jesus, Jesus doesn't seem particularly happy to see them. He says (and I paraphrase now); You came just because you want for free food. Stop it. There's something more important going on here. The food I gave yesterday was a sign. I'm not here just to provide bread for this life, but for eternal life.
