Diving Deeper
John 6
Read John 6. It’s one of the longest chapters in the Gospels, but this is an important picture of how Jesus spoke of his ministry and lived it out. Jesus did a lot of good things, but he also made a lot of people confused and angry during his time on earth. Do you think if Jesus lived today, he would be controversial? In what ways? Do you think he would be popular? Why or why not?
