So Jesus was coming here to declare himself king and son of God. However, they had the wrong motivation. You're going to see that later in the story. We're going to take a little time out, or John does, and you have this scene where he walks on the water, and then you get back to... The controversy that comes from the feeding of the 5,000, which you think, well, how could that be controversial?
Well, their motives, they started following Jesus just for the meals instead of recognizing who Jesus is on his terms. Yeah, they had their fill. Yeah, and it's really going to get down to that. The point is going to be you're following Jesus for what you can get out of it.
He's going to bring that up later in this chapter. And that's what I was going to say. When Al said the sustenance of the moment, So here's what we need to do before next time is our readers. This rabbit hole made this question when Jesus asked, where are we going to go buy some bread? I mean, it was this thrilling of a revelation from these scriptures that I've ever had.
Because I read Exodus 15, 16, and 17, which is interesting. The 15 is about water being provided. 16 is about the manna and the quail. And 17 is the water that was provided when he struck the rock. And you remember what Paul said about that? That rock was Christ.
And in the vein of Jesus being the fulfillment of everything written in the law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms, I went to his prayer because... Obviously, I thought, man, I like Zach, but I also thought when he taught them how to pray, In Matthew 6, I want to read this.
We're not going to have time to fully develop this, but I had brought that question up, and Al, you set us that statement, that sustenance in the moment. And when you read Exodus 15, 16, and 17, this really comes out. Because look, he only provided them by the day.
And just full disclosure, Exodus 16 is one of the few places in the Bible that maggots are mentioned, the larva of flies, because what they did, they had to have all this manna, and they were scared, so they was like, well, I'm going to gather some of this up for tomorrow. which he said don't do. Just in case he doesn't drop bread out of the sky tomorrow, I better make sure I get mine.
But since they didn't trust what he said, and the word becoming flesh now, claiming eventually in this chapter to be the bread of life, that the bread wouldn't keep. That's why the maggots. He's like, no, I want you to live. One day at a time. Well, when you think about this prayer, and I want to read this.
So he says in Matthew 6, when you pray and you think, when are we supposed to pray as a follower of Jesus and a son of God? When should we pray? I was asking y'all, when should you pray as a follower of Jesus?
Thank you. Every day.
This is something that is happening now to every believer. The next generation, this is a daily conversation. When you pray... Do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they'll be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Now, watch this.
Your kingdom come, your will be done. And look, the previous chapters in Matthew, you know what it's been about? Jesus saying the kingdom is at hand. So now he brings us up in this prayer. Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. And then the first thing he says for us to pray about personally is give us today our daily bread.
And when you look up the Greek language here, give us today our daily bread. This is the only place in the New Testament that that word daily is mentioned. And the only reference when you look that up, don't you find that fascinating?
The only reference that you get is they're like, well, the Hebrew language doesn't even have a word for that, but it's liking to Exodus 16, giving your daily God providing, which then he's going to go forgive us our debts. And then he's going to say, lead us not into testing or temptation, but deliver us. So you think about, well, who delivered us? Who forgave us? And who provides for us?
Well, we're getting a picture of Jesus here. Yeah. You know? And so I'm going to go further into that when we come back on the next podcast because what you're going to see and the reason that it's only mentioned that one time, Jesus is wanting you to live in the moment every day. But we, you know how humans think?
We always think, oh, you know, tomorrow I'll do this or I'll save my money and I'm going to retire one day. We all look like that. And in reality, no. None of that is promised, and there's many verses about that.
There's something about, and to get back to the stories that I said, you know, helping the missionaries or, you know, helping my dad, looking at Jesus' whole life. You're talking about living one day at a time, which is why he said, hey, where are we going to buy this bread? And I thought, that's what we should be thinking of who Jesus is every time we're fixed to go to the store or buy some food.
All these things should be wrapped around in the true bread of life.
