God will make it plain
Imagine that you and I had just heard for the first time of this new preacher, Christ Jesus, and that we had come to hear him speak. Probably we would have been incredulous when, as John's Gospel records, Jesus said, "I am the bread of life."
Here was Jesus, saying: "My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world." Obviously, Jesus was not talking here of ordinary bread but was referring to the Christ, or Truth, which he had come to share with a spiritually hungry world.
Like many others who heard him, however, we too might have completely misconstrued the Master's words. People thought they knew this man, Jesus, and his mother, Mary, and her husband, Joseph, and they questioned by what authority Jesus could be telling them that he came from heaven "to give life to the world."
