Brief notes only were kept for this meeting.
We considered Psalm 130, and especially verse 4 which speaks of forgiveness. Then we thought about John 6:16-69.
The people searched really hard for Yahshua, they looked everywhere. Verse 26 shows that they were looking because they'd been fed whereas what they really needed was to believe in Christ (verse 29). They were looking for proof, edible proof! (verse 31).
In verse 60 we see that this is a hard teaching. If Jesus is the sacrifice for sin then the Temple and the priests and the Law are superfluous. Everything changes!
It's a very hard and unpalatable teaching - throw away everything you think you know and start again!
