Today's Lesson is John 6:26: 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."

Jesus meets the needs of the crowd by serving up a great miracle meal in the wilderness. The next thing we know they want to make him king. Then Jesus does pretty much the last thing we'd expect: he walks away. Finally the people track him down, but Jesus isn't flattered. "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves."

If your faith is based on religious consumption, one of these days Jesus is going to walk away - leaving your desires completely unmet. That will be either the beginning or the end of true discipleship.
