John 6:34-35

They did not understand, obviously. They wanted it but they did not understand that the true bread from heaven was Jesus Christ Himself. And He would feed them. Of course, we get to what He says later on. They say,

He is saying, "Guys, you're looking at the wrong things. You're totally missing the point now. It's not the bread. It's not the food." It is Christ. He is more valuable then any kind of food that we are just going to eat and it goes through our system. This is a bread that comes and lives with us and remains in us to the point where He says here, "If you really grab onto Me, if you believe, you're not going to never hunger and you're never going to thirst." And He is talking spiritually, of course, because our physical bodies need the sustenance in the water, but He is talking way beyond their spiritual abilities to understand here. So He says in verse 36:

John 6:32-36

They did not have what it took because they were still thinking that it was the physical food that interested them the most. They were not in the right frame of mind for this, not yet, not the hoi polloi that was following Him, the great multitudes. His disciples on the other hand, were of a different mind. At least the Twelve were, as we saw earlier. Many of the ones who were following Him around, supposedly His disciples, left Him after He said what He said.

John 6:34

They still did not get it because they were looking at this physically. But now do we get it? Yes, you do. You get it, and the very evidence of that is that you are here.
