Refresh: Open with prayer. Read or listen to Psalm 62:1-4.

Read: John 6:22-59 — As you read in the New International Version, note 1-3 insights that arise.

Reflect: Jon Paulien in The Abundant Bible Amplifier—John highlights the significance in the sequence. 
Verse 34 indicated that the people still don't understand what Jesus is saying, but as happened with the Samaritan woman at the well (4:11,15)), His offer is beginning to sound worthwhile. They want whatever it is He is offering. Jesus repeatedly makes it clear that the true bread form heaven is none other than Himself. In fact, beginning with verse 35, all of Jesus’ statements are in the first person singular. This underlines His claim that relationship with Him personally is the ultimate issue of the discourse. Note the sequence of Bread of Life statements:
vs. 33:  The one who comes down—gives life to the world. 
vs. 35: I am the Bread of Life.
vs. 41: I am the Bread of Life—that came down from heaven. 
vs. 48: I am the bread of Life. 
vs. 51: I am the Bread of Life—that came down from heaven.
vs. 58—I am the Bread who came down—gives life to the world. 
The clear implication of the Bread of Life sermon is that seeing Jesus and believing in Him are what produce real life in the spiritual sense now, and in the fullest sense, "at the last day” (vs. 40; 5:21). Just as food must be constantly eaten to sustain physical life, so it is necessary to invite Jesus into our daily experiences if we are to sustain spiritual life (p. 141).

Recalibrate: ​ 

1. How could you take your moments in the Daily Walk to the next level?
2. What does inviting Jesus into your life look like?
3. What  "things” are distracting from your walk with Jesus?

Respond: Pray for the gift to recognize Jesus more in you life.
