While I am fully willing to acknowledge that there is likely some significant details or nuances that are lost in the translation, or that this potential contradiction is only visible because of the translation I have chosen for this episode, a simple reading of Jesus\u2019 teaching seems to include a contradiction.<\/p>\r\n<p>With this in mind, instead of reading a long block of teaching, where Jesus shares with those in Capernaum a much bigger message, let\u2019s focus in on the contradiction itself and see if there isn\u2019t something we can learn from Jesus\u2019 words in this portion of His teaching.<\/p>\r\n<p>To set the stage for this truth, let\u2019s read the first portion of our passage, which is found in the gospel of John, chapter 6. Using the New Century Version and starting in verse 38, Jesus tells the crowd:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>38<\/sup>\u00a0I came down from heaven to do what God wants me to do, not what I want to do.\u00a0<sup>39<\/sup>\u00a0Here is what the One who sent me wants me to do: I must not lose even one whom God gave me, but I must raise them all on the last day.\u00a0<sup>40<\/sup>\u00a0Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life, and I will raise them on the last day. This is what my Father wants.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>So far, this seems straightforward. In these three verses, Jesus is simply sharing a portion of His mission to earth. Now let\u2019s jump down a few verses later, still within this broad conversation, and pull out the contrasting part. Jumping back into this passage in verse 47, Jesus tells the same crowd:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>47<\/sup>\u00a0I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life.\u00a0<sup>48<\/sup>\u00a0I am the bread that gives life.\u00a0<sup>49<\/sup>\u00a0Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but still they died.\u00a0<sup>50<\/sup>\u00a0Here is the bread that comes down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will never die.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Following verse 50, Jesus goes on to say that He is the bread from Heaven, but instead of reading further, let\u2019s stop so we can look closer at this potential contradiction.<\/p>\r\n<p>Within this larger teaching to the crowd in Capernaum, Jesus shares the idea that eternal life comes through Him, the \u201cbread that gives life\u201d, and that the life He gives will never result in death. However to contrast that powerful idea, Jesus says that those who have eternal life now will be raised up on the last day.<\/p>\r\n<p>To some people, the contradiction is invisible, but to others, the dilemma centers around what it means to be given eternal life. <em>Does getting \u201ceternal life\u201d mean that one never dies, or is it a promise that Jesus will raise this person up on the last day? <\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>The contradiction becomes clearer because the first passage seems to support the last day resurrection of those who have eternal life, while the second passage emphasizes that no true believer will actually die, which negates the need for Jesus to raise them up.<\/p>\r\n<p>To make the contrast even clearer, Jesus begins wrapping up this teaching by sharing a strange metaphor in verse 54: \u201c<strong>Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day.<\/strong>\u201d And then as a final, concluding point, in verse 58, Jesus\u2019 last words to the crowd are: \u201c<strong>I am not like the bread your ancestors ate. They ate that bread and still died. I am the bread that came down from heaven, and whoever eats this bread will live forever.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The contrast and contradiction in this passage and teaching is clearly present. In this passage, Jesus is clearly giving His believers the promise of living forever, and in this last verse, living forever is contrasted with the death that the Israelites faced in the desert, even though they had bread from heaven, which they called manna, to eat.<\/p>\r\n<p>Before continuing on, let me say first off that I don\u2019t like contrasts or contradictions like this because they divide people. What often happens is that when we see a discrepancy in something Jesus says, people set up camps on both sides and then debate each other claiming their own chosen side is true while the other side is in error. Those watching from the sidelines may join one camp, but too often they reject both sides and walk away, ultimately missing out on the truth that is present in both sides of the debate. In the case of this passage, the truth present in both sides is simply this: <strong>Jesus has promised eternal life to those who believe in Him<\/strong>. The debate around this idea happens to be about the details of when this life is given.<\/p>\r\n<p>I also don\u2019t like contradictions similar to how we have framed this passage and this complex truth because framing the passage in this way allows skeptics an opening to try to discredit Jesus. Just as those who set up camps on each side of an issue before debating with each other, the skeptical mind takes aim at not just both sides of the debate, but will also work to discredit the One sharing the ideas. When framed as two opposing ideas, we are led to conclude that only one idea can be true, which then makes the other one a lie, and if Jesus lied, then Jesus immediately becomes untrustworthy.<\/p>\r\n<p>So is there a resolution to this dilemma? Is there a different layer or level that Jesus is trying to teach? Is there a way where these two seemingly contrasting ideas are unified?<\/p>\r\n<p>As I look further into this passage, I do find a common theme that blends the ideas. This theme, like I alluded to before, is that <strong>belief in Jesus brings eternal life<\/strong>. By using this theme as a filter to view both sides of this debate, we see something interesting appear \u2013 both in what is said, what is not said, and what is assumed:<\/p>\r\n<p>Running the first passage through this big theme gives us the detail that eternal life is \u201cgiven\u201d or \u201cpromised\u201d. This ultimately concludes with those having eternal life being raised up on the last day.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, what about the second passage and those people who have \u201cdied\u201d? If we run the second passage through this same theme \u2013 that belief in Jesus brings eternal life \u2013 we contrast believing in Jesus being the source of eternal life with those who died in the desert. A whole generation of people, minus two individuals, Joshua and Caleb, died outside of the Promised Land \u2013 and it was for one reason only: They didn\u2019t trust God and His promise to lead them into the land that He had promised to give them.<\/p>\r\n<p>The people in the desert died a death of unbelief \u2013 and this is different than simply death. Dying the death of unbelief is dying in a more eternal sense because where there is no belief in Jesus, there is no hope of a resurrection. It is the end. This second passage contrasts eternal life with eternal death \u2013 the death of unbelief.<\/p>\r\n<p>In Jesus\u2019 concluding remarks, the eternal life that is promised is promised through Jesus \u2013 who is able to do something that the manna could not do, and that is that Jesus is able to restore our spiritual lives from the inside. Heaven\u2019s manna was a gift from God, but it was not able to restore the nation spiritually even if it sustained them physically. God did want the Israelites to learn that He provides, but they missed the spiritually restoring truth tucked within the literal gift of the manna.<\/p>\r\n<p>Jesus is different because He lived a life that showed us God\u2019s love and His character. Prayerfully focusing on Him does lead to spiritual renewal and eternal life. The more we look at Him, the more we will begin to look to Him, and the more we look to Him, the more our faith in Him will grow.<\/p>\r\n<p>I have no idea where you are on the spectrum of faith in Jesus, but I do know that God wants your faith to be growing. That happens by focusing on Jesus and not on focusing on supporting one of the two sides of this never-ending debate over the details.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Focusing on Jesus unifies, and regardless of which side is more correct, when Jesus returns, the whole debate will have been wasted time. Instead of wasting time debating this, choose to focus on growing closer to Jesus and following His plan for your life, because that is what matters above everything else!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As we come to the end of another podcast episode, here are the challenges I will leave you with:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>As I always challenge you to do, intentionally focus on Jesus first. Purposefully orient your life around serving God and seeking to do His will. If you are on the fence about whether you should follow or believe Jesus, let me challenge you to try God\u2019s way out for yourself for a month or two. If after you have tried God\u2019s way out for that amount of time, you are able to decide whether or not it is right for you, and if you decide that it isn\u2019t right for you, at least you will have made an informed decision. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Also, continue to pray and study the Bible for yourself to discover firsthand what it says. While other people can share ideas with you, test everything you read, see, and hear with what you see written in the pages of the Bible. If there is ever a conflict, choose the Bible\u2019s way over the other alternate. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>And as I end every set of challenges by saying in one way or another, never stop short of, back away from, chicken out of, or abandon where God wants to lead you to in your life with Him!<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Flashback Episode:<\/strong> \r\nYear 1 &#8211; Episode 19: While teaching a crowd in Capernaum, Jesus challenges them with what on the surface looks like two contradicting truths. When we look closer at this contradiction, can we see any evidence of how this contradiction has challenged Christianity in the centuries that followed, and is there any solid path out of this debate? You might be surprised with what we discover.\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-audio"],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Flashback Episode - Untangling Jesus&#039; Words: John 6:22-59 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Flashback Episode - Untangling Jesus&#039; Words: John 6:22-59 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reflectivebiblestudy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-05-08T09:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-03-16T18:37:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Cam\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Cam\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"headline\":\"Flashback Episode &#8212; Untangling Jesus&#8217; Words: John 6:22-59\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-05-08T09:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-03-16T18:37:41+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1806,\"articleSection\":[\"Audio Journal Entries\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/\",\"name\":\"Flashback Episode - Untangling Jesus' Words: John 6:22-59 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-05-08T09:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-03-16T18:37:41+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/fb-untangling-jesus-words-john-6-22-59\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Flashback Episode &#8212; Untangling Jesus&#8217; Words: John 6:22-59\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\",\"name\":\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"description\":\"Your Life.
