Day 291: John 6

I think too often, like Philip, I limit myself by practicality. Philip's response with feeding the thousands was, "We don't have that kind of money." I think too often I think too small, and I don't allow for room for God to act in a situation.

It must have been such a radical thing for the people to hear that all they had to do was "to believe in the one he has sent." Up to this point, there was so much that was required by the law. This must have seemed 'too easy' to them and therefore unbelievable. But then he goes into the whole 'eat my flesh and drink my blood' speech, which probably totally blew their minds!
