John chapter 6 is an important chapter in the Gospel of John, as it contains a portion of the famous “Farewell Discourse” of Jesus to His disciples. This discourse covers many important topics including Jesus’ departure, the importance of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus’ assurance to His followers that He will never leave them.
The main point of John chapter 6 is Jesus’ assurance of His love and presence with His disciples, even though He will be leaving them physically. This assurance is found in verse 39-40, where Jesus says “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.”
In these verses, Jesus assures His disciples that, even though He will be leaving them, He will never forget them and will continue to care for them even after His departure. Jesus also assures His disciples that they will receive eternal life if they look to Him and believe in Him.
The main point of John chapter 6 is Jesus’ assurance of His love and presence with His disciples, which provides hope and comfort even though He will be departing from them. It is a beautiful promise of eternal life to all those who look to Jesus and believe in Him.
