Jesus showed graceTo the undeserving
Who never became followers
![Page 18: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Bethesda…
One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years
![Page 19: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already
been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want
to be healed?”
![Page 20: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me”
![Page 21: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” And at
once the man was healed, and he took up his
bed and walked
![Page 22: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Now that day was the Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed”
![Page 23: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that
man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk’”
![Page 24: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
![Page 25: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was,
for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd
in the place
![Page 26: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you”
![Page 27: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus
who had healed him
![Page 28: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath- John 5:2-16
![Page 29: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Did Jesus do right by this guy?Did Jesus bless this man?
Either before or after the blessing…did he deserve it?
![Page 30: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lifting up his eyes…and seeing that a large crowd was coming
toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so
that these people may eat?
![Page 31: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little”
![Page 32: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to
him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two
fish, but what are they for so many?”
![Page 33: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number
![Page 34: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who
were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted
![Page 35: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost”
![Page 36: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with
fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who
had eaten
![Page 37: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!”
![Page 38: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Was there a religious test first?A test of morality?
Was it about being worthy?
Did Jesus bless them?
![Page 39: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves
You just want what you can get
![Page 40: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Jesus is blessing peopleWithout regard to
their worthiness
But he's not avoiding speakingTruth that can change them
![Page 41: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you”
![Page 42: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Talk of Moses and Manna
"I am the bread of life…I have come down from heaven…"
![Page 43: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you”
![Page 44: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer
walked with him- John 6

Did Jesus feed them?Did they deserve it?
Was it about being acceptedBy the crowd?
![Page 46: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
"My favorite story of Christ Feeding the multitude is when
he didn't because his ministry was only focused
on Salvation"
![Page 47: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
"My favorite story of Christ Preaching is when he told them there are many paths to the Father because he wanted to be loved and be seen as tolerant"
![Page 48: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Jesus…stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his
disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and
Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon
![Page 49: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
…who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases

And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured

And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all- Luke 6:17-19

When Jesus healed crowdsDo we ever find him
Asking first about how they live?
Why not?
![Page 53: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
In his graceGod has decided to bless
People who will neverLove, trust or acknowledge himBut instead blame & curse him
![Page 54: Kingdom Common Grace "These people are part of That system And that makes them Our enemy"](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052607/5a4d1b517f8b9ab0599a798b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
