The Bread That Reveals
Caleb Hyers | September 6, 2026 | John 6:22–71
This bread of life sermon on John 6:22–71 and 1 Corinthians 11:28–32 shows how Jesus, the bread of life, exposes true believers, false believers, and betrayers, and what it means to examine yourself honestly before communion. Preached at The Resting Place Apostolic Family, a Spirit-filled, apostolic family church in Tampa, FL serving Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, and Hillsborough County, this message is available to read in full below or in person Sundays at 9:00 AM and 11:15 AM at 217 Hobbs Street, Suite 106, Tampa, FL.
THERE’S A BREAD THAT REVEALS
My title this morning is “The Bread That Reveals.” There’s a bread that reveals. We’re going to take communion today because it’s the first Sunday of the month, and we dedicate the month that way to Jesus. I was in our reading this week, and John 6 was part of it, and it just came alive. The whole passage lit up for me as I was reading it. I see in the passage of John 6 a multi-layered exposure of the hearts of men. Jesus exposes some people in this passage. And what it showed me is there’s actually an examination that comes from the bread of life — that if you actually interact with the living bread, who is Christ, the motives of your heart get revealed.
Have you noticed that when you actually engage with the Holy Spirit of God, when the Spirit of Christ moves, you start to realize what’s in here? You start to realize false paradigms, false beliefs. You start to realize, “Oh, maybe I’m doing this for the wrong reasons.” Anybody? Just me? Just me and Tracy?
I’m sitting down here on purpose. This is a little new — we’re trying to break down the barriers and have a family table. That’s the idea. So talk to me.
In John 6, I think there are three things that get revealed. We’re going to go through it, but here’s the three — I don’t have it on the screens for you, I got this late last night. It’s been a late month; I was laboring over this all week. The bread reveals three things: it reveals the true believers — it shows who really believes. It also shows the false believers. And it shows the betrayers. Did you know there is no single mention of communion in the Scriptures without a mention of his betrayal? Every time communion is mentioned in the Bible, it mentions his betrayal. Every single one of them. That’s on purpose.
So we’re going to read. I used to do this back in the day — I have Chip and Kristen in the room, they were here at the very beginning, Vanguard people, they know this. I used to do a thing called repreaching, where we just read the Bible and say some things: read, preach, read, preach. We’re going to do that for about fifty verses out of John 6. So buckle up, buttercup. And then I have more passages after that, so you’re going to have to chew on this one. Pun intended — did you get it? Yeah, the bread.
All right, here we go. John 6:22–71. We’re going to digest this together.
SEEKING JESUS
On the next day, the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boat and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
Say that with me: seeking Jesus. These people were seeking Jesus.
This is the same chapter — so we understand the context — where Jesus fed the five thousand. And that’s only the number of the men; there were probably closer to eighteen or twenty thousand, because men, women, and children were counted by the men. That’s how they numbered them.
Think of it: this is the same chapter. It references the boat and everything, but earlier in that chapter, Jesus tests Philip. This whole thing begins with a test.
Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Jesus literally was testing Philip. There’s the bread reveals — it’s like an examination going on.
And then what does he do? He takes the bread, gives thanks, and distributes it to the people through his disciples. You remember this — the feeding of the five thousand? That’s a prophetic type and shadow of communion. He takes the bread, he gives thanks, he breaks it, and the disciples give it to them, and they distribute it to the people. It’s a type and shadow of the Last Supper that’s to come. It’s also a type and shadow of the whole plan of God. Jesus is to offer himself as the living bread, to be distributed among the nations and multiplied through the hands of his followers.
And at the Last Supper he does the same thing. He gives thanks, distributes the bread, and says, “This is my body.” It’s almost like John 6 is the detailed, in-depth version of what he says at the Last Supper. It’s amazing.
So after the food is multiplied, they try to force him to be their natural king. He perceives they’re trying to make him king by force. And one of the greatest miracles here is not only the feeding of the five thousand, really eighteen to twenty thousand — it’s that Jesus single-handedly dismissed the crowd. Think of it: they were trying to force him to be king, and he, by himself, sends the disciples away and says, “I’ll deal with the crowd.” Twenty thousand people, and he says, go away — and they do. Think of one person dismissing a crowd of that size. Miraculous. How did he do that? How many times did he say, “No, really, leave me alone, go away”? What was he doing?
So the disciples got into a boat without him. He sends them to the other side. This is the night he walks on the water. He gets on the boat, and immediately he’s on the other side.
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
DO NOT WORK FOR THE FOOD THAT PERISHES
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”
I love how Jesus doesn’t answer their question. “Rabbi, when did you get here? We were looking for you.” He almost ignores their question. He goes straight to their motivations. He reveals their hearts. He points out their desire to fill their stomachs again with temporary nourishment, and he judges it. He says that pales in comparison to what he really has to offer. Because it wasn’t a normal feeding — they didn’t go to the marketplace. He multiplied the bread and the fish in front of them, and they were still just looking for more bread.
How often has God miraculously done something in our life, and yet we’re still just looking for natural things? Let me ask it this way: how often are we only seeking Jesus for our earthly needs when he’s offering eternal things? He meets our natural needs in a supernatural way, and then all we go back for is more natural things. We just go back to, “Oh, he feeds me.” No — the way he fed you was with natural things, but not by natural means.
Has anybody in here ever seen a miracle? Has anybody ever been provided for miraculously? Look around this room. How many of us are seeking him for the miraculous daily? What does our next day look like?
I’ll ask it this way — and this is a sobering word for you, it’s not going to get any better today. How much of our prayer life centers on what we perceive is our need, rather than seeking to know the desires of the one who provides all things? “Lord, I need this, I need this, I need this.” And yes, bring your requests to God — that’s scriptural. But is that all we’re supposed to do? Are we not supposed to seek his desires and say, “What do you say I need? What are you doing in my life? What are you doing in my family?” — instead of just bringing him the laundry list of what we want him to do.
If you’re convicted, you don’t have to say anything — just blink. That way heaven knows it’s fine. Repentance over. Hallelujah — and that’s good news.
Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?”
They immediately changed their tune and started asking the right questions. They feel called out — that’s what’s happening. Like, “Oh, he got us. Yeah, we were seeking Jesus, but we were really just wanting another lunch.” They changed what they were asking. It seems they’re responding to Jesus saying, “Work for the food that’s eternal.” It seems as though they had a change of heart, but Jesus had only begun. The hard exam was just beginning.
THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT YOU BELIEVE
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
I love that. He simplifies everything: we should simply work on our belief in Jesus. You should spend your energy working on what you believe about Jesus. What paradigms are you operating from? What did you receive from your “churchianity” growing up that actually isn’t Christianity, that isn’t making you into a follower of the Way? What is it that you’re defending as truth, as eternal truth? There are beliefs underneath all of this.
So how much time have you worked on your beliefs versus your behaviors? Working on behavior changes your temporal life. Working on your belief changes your eternity. Working on our behavior is like working for that bread that’s temporary. But working on our belief toward Jesus is what feeds us forever.
I’ll put it this way — I’ve said this before, and it’s so true: whatever you are believing is how you will be living. You’re asking, “Why am I living this way?” Wrong question. Why am I believing this way? What am I believing that’s making me live this way? What is the belief driving my actions? Because that’s where it starts.
Even scientifically, psychologically, they’re beginning to prove that your whole life is actually governed by what they call the subconscious — that everything you do is covered by the subconscious. That’s science’s way of trying to say, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” That’s their way of saying the heart is what drives it. Jesus is saying what’s in your heart is what matters.
So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'”
Let me say it this way — I said this in the nine o’clock service and it felt appropriate then, and it feels appropriate now: aren’t you glad your stupid questions weren’t recorded in the Bible for all time? Aren’t you glad your interactions with Jesus aren’t written out for all of us to read forever? Before we judge these people — you’ve had some stupid questions too. Praise the Lord it wasn’t written down.
These same people, the day before, had a lunch turned into a feast for twenty thousand with leftovers — twelve baskets full — and now they’re saying, “Well, I have to believe in you. What work do you do? What sign do you perform?”
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
This is an exposure moment. They’re asking for more proof to believe, even though it’s the next day. But Jesus lays claim to the manna from heaven that fed the Israelites in the wilderness — if you don’t know the story, they were fed by miracle wonder-bread from heaven. Manna literally means, “What is it?” And Jesus says, “I’m the source. My Father’s the source. I am the wonder bread.” The bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. Jesus says the way heaven feeds you is with a person, not a thing.
You remember what Jesus said to the woman at the well, when the disciples came back and said, “Master, eat something”? What did he say? “I have food you do not know of.” They said, “Did someone give him something to eat?” He said, “I am nourished this whole time by doing the will of my Father.”
Jesus is using the type and shadow of the manna in the wilderness to point to the substance of the Son of Man. He is the bread of life. They don’t get it, though, because they’re thinking naturally — they’re still in their temporary paradigm. They’re being revealed by the living bread.
They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
It’s almost snarky — like, “Okay, show us.” They’re still looking.
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out, for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
He makes it explicit: he is the bread of life. They said they wanted it — he’s like, “Are you sure? It’s me.” He connects their lack of belief in him as a judgment against them: “You’ve seen me and you don’t believe.” Do you see that connection?
He says people are given to him by the Father. Whoever comes to Jesus, he will never cast them out. Who brought us to Jesus? The Father. I didn’t bring any of you to Jesus — the Father brought you to Jesus. Who will never cast us out? The Son.
The will of God was for Jesus not to lose a single one given by the Father. Let me ask you: is God’s will going to be accomplished? Can you lose your salvation? No — because you’re a love gift from the Father to the Son, and he’s not revoking his gifts to his Son.
The new covenant is accomplished God in God, and you’re invited, grafted in through marriage — it has nothing to do with you. We make it so self-centered, all about us. No — this is about God. Our eternity is fixed because we’re given by the Father to the Son, and we’ve not refused the Holy Spirit who revealed all this to us.
Jesus said one sin will not be forgiven — blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Do you know what it means? It means to utterly reject the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of the Father is the one drawing us, and if you reject that drawing, that’s the one sin that separates you from God. So if you receive the drawing of the Father by the Spirit, you will never be separated from God. Jesus will not cast you out. He won’t lose anyone who is drawn and receives. John chapter 1 says to those who received him, he gave the right to be called sons of God. It’s about believing. What’s the work of God? To believe.
NO ONE CAN COME TO ME UNLESS THE FATHER DRAWS HIM
So the Jews grumbled about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
They’re claiming to know his origin — but did they? Did they know his Father? The bread reveals who is true, who is false, and who is the betrayer. This is pride being revealed — they’re claiming to know it all. There’s nothing left for them to learn.
Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me, not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.”
He’s basically saying, “Don’t even argue about this — you’ve rejected the Father’s drawing.” The Father is going to draw people, and there’s no point arguing. He’s saying, “You’re false. It’s fine. It’s cool.” And then he lays claim to being from God, to having seen the Father. This is a major confession of his deity. Jesus Christ is confessing that he is the I Am. Do you see that? Am I making this up, or do you see it?
“I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
Do you understand how offensive that would have been to first-century Jewish ears? Think about it: the manna that came down from heaven fed your fathers, but they died. The Son of Man who came down from heaven will die and rise again, and believing in him will cause you to live forever. What’s the difference between the manna and the Son of Man? The manna that came down went into their stomachs and stayed there — it went out. The Son of Man came down, conquered, and ascended. The difference is he is risen.
What does it mean to eat of this bread and live forever? It means to believe. Is he not prophesying his death, burial, and resurrection here?
Do you know what unleavened bread is? It’s flat bread. And in the Bible it’s a picture of being without sin. Jesus was without sin, yet died as sin, and rose again to become the bread of life for the nations. He is the unleavened bread that rose to become the nourishment for all mankind. He’s the only unleavened bread that’s risen. Think about that for the next ten years.
I have to say — some take this passage in John 6 to support something called transubstantiation. The Roman Catholic Church, I bless them, I’m not upset — their belief is that when you take communion, the bread and the wine actually become literal flesh and blood. I would humbly submit that this misses the entire point of the passage. It’s not natural bread, and it’s not natural flesh. Natural bread does not feed us for eternity. It’s the wonder of his resurrection life that feeds us unto eternity.
UNLESS YOU EAT MY FLESH AND DRINK MY BLOOD
The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
Listen to their confusion.
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.
He does not back off — he’s getting clearer. He drives it deeper and says, “You don’t get it. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” They’re still thinking in the natural realm.
“Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him” — what does abide mean? It means to stay, to remain, to be fixed. What does that look like? It means refusing to come out of the belief that he is God and that he’s risen. It’s staying in the place of belief.
“As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me.” Jesus compares our feeding on him and living to the relationship between the living Father and the Son. Our relationship with the bread of life can be compared to the life-giving relationship between the Father and the Son. Here’s the question: how are they relating? Is it purely in the natural realm? How was Jesus sent — was it purely by natural means?
IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE
When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?”
He literally said, “Eat me.” “Look, God, believe in me” — and now this: “Because you believe in me, eat me.” This is a hard thing. I’m glad they wrote that down. I would have said, “What do you mean by this, Lord?”
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
Jesus is saying, “What if you see me arisen from the dead and ascending? Would that convince you?” The answer is yes, but he’s looking for faith.
This is the bottom line of the passage: it is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help, but all the words I’ve spoken to you are spirit and life. He clarifies that he is speaking of spiritual things, not natural things. He places the entire discourse in the category of spirit.
This is the key reason we should not take on the belief that the bread and the cup become literal flesh and blood. I mean this with all humility and sincerity — I submit these things humbly. I don’t need to be right; I just need to know the truth. But even some of the twelve did not believe. They’re being revealed. The bread reveals the true followers, the false followers, and the betrayers.
LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?
After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
“Oh, Peter, great job” — no gold stars here. This is a tough day for the disciples. No pat on the back for Peter. He says, “You have the words of eternal life, we have believed, you are the Holy One of God.” I can just see Peter saying, “We’re not leaving. We believe.”
Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
No one speaks words so anointed as this one. Words both pierce and heal. This is the bread that reveals, right here. Jesus reveals here the true believers, the possible believers — how? By testing their ears to hear what the Spirit is saying. He almost ignores Peter’s confession and points out that even one of the twelve is a devil. He points out the betrayer in the midst of Peter’s fervent, passionate confession of faith. Why does he do that? Because he’s still testing them, exposing the true, the false, and the enemy. Still revealing their hearts.
EXAMINE YOURSELF
Did you know that we are commanded to examine ourselves before taking communion?
Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
Did you know that healing should come from communion? Did you know that you should expect to be healed when you take the bread of life? Because we’re engaging in the Spirit realm with the God who is our healer, who gave himself as the bread of life for the world.
Some have taught that bringing judgment on yourself means that because you ate it wrong, you got sick. No. You didn’t actually eat toward the healing — you didn’t come to it in the right way. This is straight out of the context here: they were going ahead of one another, eating up all the food and leaving others hungry. Some were drinking till they were drunk, and others got none. And earlier in this passage, Paul says it’s not even the Lord’s Supper you’re eating — you’re not even coming to the Lord’s table. But if you had gone to the Lord’s table, you would have been healed of your ailments.
Do you hear that? Some fear communion — “I don’t want to eat this wrong, I have to examine myself” — because they don’t want to get sick. No. If you eat well, you can be healed. If you don’t discern the body, you’re eating and drinking judgment on yourself. Discern the body — and that’s not just the body of Christ, that’s the body of believers around you. They were being exposed by the bread of life. They were thinking of their own bellies, just like in John 6. Were they not just thinking about their own stomachs — going ahead, eating all the food, not sharing?
Discerning the body is discerning the needs of our brothers and sisters, as well as the truth of what Christ accomplished with his body, by dying on the cross and rising again. It’s both — God and your fellow man. It should result in you caring for your brother and your sister. In fact, if our faith in what Jesus has done does not produce good works toward those in need, we are missing the point entirely, especially when it comes to the Lord’s table.
So what does this say to me? We need to be at peace with God and our fellow man as we approach the Lord’s table.
Let me quickly show you the parallel here. There’s a parallel between John 6, 1 Corinthians 11, and the Last Supper. The feeding of the five thousand — that was at a specific moment on the calendar. What feast was at hand in John 6? The Passover. Do you know what time of the calendar the Last Supper occurs? Passover. It’s almost like there’s an explanation of the Last Supper given in John 6, in the multiplication of the bread. He’s pointing to it. The living bread reveals true believers, false believers, and betrayers.
Communion has been made a ritual, with extremely divisive opinions about what we’re actually doing and how to do it. I was an event manager for something called Communion America last year in Washington, D.C. It was extremely divisive. We were just trying to get everyone from around the states there, and the conversation of how you’re going to take it — are you going to make sure everyone’s saved first, are you going to bless it, are you going to allow Catholics to take it — it became the most disunifying conversation. The table of the Lord, what’s going on there? It’s actually supposed to reveal who is true, who is false, and who is for the enemy. It’s the living bread that reveals us.
So we need to examine ourselves, to know if we have in fact believed on the Son of God and are following him with a whole heart unto serving one another.
APPROACHING THE TABLE
So we’re going to approach the table in just a moment. I’m going to have my staff come up here and hold the elements first. Everybody else, just wait for a moment.
As we approach this table, I want you to ask yourself two questions before you come up here. Number one: do you truly believe Jesus is God? That he came down from heaven, died on the cross, rose from the dead, giving his life for us to have eternal life? It’s a yes or no question — you have to answer that in your heart. Number two: are you at peace with your fellow man? Is there someone you need to forgive? Is there something you need to ask forgiveness for?
So here’s what we’re going to do. I’m going to have everyone come up and take the elements. If you’re in the room, I invite you — in just a moment, I want you to go back to your seat and contemplate those questions before we take together. So would you stand, come take the elements, and take them back to your seat and think. I ask that this would be a sacred time — please, no discussion. Just keep the room quiet. Get alone with the Lord right now. Do you believe? Are you at peace with your fellow man?
We’re going to let the room settle. Maybe close your eyes and contemplate before the Lord, approaching his table rightly. Just stay in that place.
And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
Lord Jesus, as we take the bread in our hands, we do this in remembrance. We proclaim your death until you come, and we say thank you for your life. Thank you for laying down your life. Thank you for giving us your flesh on the cross, for defeating death, hell, and the grave, so that we might have eternal life. We thank you.
God, I pray that we would truly partake of the Lord’s Supper today, and that healing would come by your stripes — that we would be actually physically healed because of the spiritual truth of your resurrection and the natural truth that you have brought both together, heaven and earth. You did rise in your body, and you did ascend in your body, and you will come again. So Lord, we proclaim your death until you come again, as we take and eat.
We thank you for the cup of the new covenant. There are other covenants between God and man, but this is a covenant between God and God, when God is the one who transacts. It brought us into the divine dance of the Trinity.
Why is this supposed to make you happy? Because it’s all by your work — not by our might or by our strength, but by your Spirit that you accomplish these things. Let’s lift the glass to King Jesus.
Thank you, Lord, for your body. Thank you for your blood. We thank you for the healing that comes in who you are. We receive the bread of life, the cup of the covenant, today, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Would you welcome Alan as he comes to close our gathering and lead us in prayer?
