John chapter 6, "The Bread of Life Sermon" (Part II - continuing look at verses 26-40). The main point Jesus wanted the people and His disciples to understand through this discourse was that His Kingdom is not a political or even an earthly issue, but a spiritual one. The crowd had wanted to crown Him King after the miraculous feeding, but He evaded their efforts. They needed to understand He did not come to be a political King to free them from Roman bondage, but as a spiritual King (the only King of Heaven and Earth) to set them free from much more serious bondage - to sin and death!
In this lesson, He taught them how He is the True Manna from Heaven and that He is far superior to Moses. Manna was only for Israel and it was temporary. He is the Bread of God Who gave His life for the world, and it is permanent. Moses was merely the human instrument God used to feed the people, as the disciples had been Christ's instruments to distribute the food to the people the previous day. Christ performed the miraculous miracle in His own power. Manna was the shadow; He is the Substance.
