Verse 28
The works of God are the works that God requires to obtain the food that remains, even eternal life. The people were still thinking on the physical level. They thought Jesus was talking about some physical work that would yield eternal life. Moreover they assumed that they could do it and that by doing it they could earn eternal life. They ignored Jesus’ statement that He would give them eternal life (cf. Romans 10:2-4). There is something within the fallen nature of human beings that makes working for eternal life more attractive than receiving it as a gift.
