I think this sermon is about expectation. One definition of expect: to consider obligatory or required. Employees are expected to show up at work. Soldiers are expected to fight in war time. Sometimes expectation means a duty, if there is a duty----What does God expect of us? The next definition of expect----to look forward to something. Soen-young and I are visiting my family in South Carolina in January; my family is expecting to see us. But at Jn 6:62 What then if you… ..Jesus expects something of us. Jesus already expected something of the crowd when he told them, Jn 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood his, you have no life in you . Jn 6:53 is a command, a command expects obedience. Jn 6:53is about a command. Jn 6:60-61 is about a complaint. Jn 6:62 is an answer to the crowd's complaint. Jn 6:60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” Jn 6:61 … ..“Does this offend you? The word… .hard… ..Jn 6:60 … .“This is a hard saying;… it can mean------- rough, harsh, unpleasant. The crowd couldn't hear this-----Some translations, Jn 6:61… .“Does this offend you? Some translations “offend” can mean “shock”. Does this shock you? The crowd was surprised and upset. But Jesus answering their complaint expects something, Jn 6:62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? The next reason God expects something of us----- to consider obligatory or required. Is because Jesus gives a plan: Jn 6:62 What then if you should see… … What if you knew a plan? Jn 6: 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? Jesus is talking about the future… … What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend… .? Jesus is also talking about the past … ..Jn 6:62 … .where He was before? So if this sermon has this question: What does God expect of us? Jn6:53 from the command; Jn 6:62, from the plan?
