... and a great crowd of people followed Him because they saw the miraculous signs He had performed on the sick. (John 6:2)

Would they have followed Him if He had nothing for them?

Why not?

Are we missing something? Or did they?

Do I need a daily dose of the miraculous? Would that increase my faith in God … or somehow diminish it? Somehow desensitize me to …

The SON … OF … GOD – sovereign over all things seen and unseen.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)

… give me only my daily bread.

 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
    and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ (Proverbs 30:8-9)

“But what about you?” He asked. “Who do you say I am?” (Mark 8:29)

Who are You, Jesus … to me?

Assurance …
