Feeding on Jesus Glorious Supply of Fresh Bread for Victorious Living

This is an expository line by line teaching of John 6. The goal of this teaching is to learn how to famish ourselves with Christ each day to sustain ourselves in Him. Hope your hungry, for blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Last i checked there is only one who is righteous and that is Christ, therefore, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Christ for they will be filled! Fill me up Daddy God! My prayer is that God will give me revelation for this study, i will be ever more hungry for Christ, and you will flow to the brim with a new level of love for Christ. Expect to be fed!

John 6
"After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. ² Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. ³ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples."

Day 1: Discovery
First i wikipedia'd the sea of galilee also named "genneseret and chinnereth" to find out:

• "it is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake overall (after the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake).^[5]
• The lake is fed partly by underground springs although its main source is the Jordan River which flows through it from north to south."
• Chinnereth was listed among the "fenced cities" in Joshua 19:35. The name Kinneret may originate from the Hebrew word kinnor ("harp" or "lyre")),
• Genneseret means "a garden of riches"

Other things to mention, parts of the sea of galilee was given as an inheritance to the 12 tribes of Israel in the book of Joshua 19:35. Parts were given to the levites (priests) and to the tribe of Gad. I will need to look up more. Float in the sea of Galilee.

Then i looked up the sea of galilee in my concordance and i was initally suprised to see that there were many instances of the word "galilee." To my suprise i was starting to find out that the ministry of Christ seemed to revolve around this amazing sea of freshwater. Lets go on a journey together.

Lets look at a map of the original tribes of Israel.

 

12 Sons(Tribes) of Jacob (Israel)
Reuben - "Look a Son"
Simeon - "One who hears"
Levi - "Being Attached"
Judah - "Praise"
Dan - "To Vindicate"
Naphtali - "My Struggle"
Gad - "Good Fortune"
Asher - "Happy"
Issachar "Reward"
Zebulun - "Honor"
Joseph - "May He Add"
Benjamin - "Son of My Right Hand"


Lets look at a map of the original cities of Refuge

Cities of Refuge
Kedesh - "holy place"
Golan - "enclosure for captives"
Shechem - "strong shoulder"
Bezer - "strong hiding place"
Hebron - "fellowship"

Lets look at a map of Jesus Ministry around the Sea of Galilee

The Government of the Promised Son - Isaiah 9

9 Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,

As when at first He lightly esteemed

The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

And afterward more heavily oppressed her,

By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,

In Galilee of the Gentiles.

² The people who walked in darkness

Have seen a great light;

Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,

Upon them a light has shined.

This scripture is tight! The book of Isaiah was written about 700 BC. Isaiah must have had a vision about Zebulun and Naphtali which are next to the Sea of Galilee, you can see it in the above tribes of Israel map. This prophecy took 700 years to fulfill which spoke of those who walked in darkness have seen a great light, Jesus!

I would like to also note that it is interesting that Jesus ministry was around a body of freshwater, and just below that freshwater was dead salt water. Remember the story about Jesus at the well of the Samarian woman, how Jesus has eternal water. The lady remarked sir are you greater than your forefathers, the well is deep and you have nothing to draw from.

Interesting how Jesus is a deep well, and we can draw from his eternal wellspring of living waters. Furthermore, the Sea of Galilee draws its water from underground springs. Jesus is our wellspring of life, let his spirit overflow your spirit.

WOW
I just was re-reading the fact that the sea of galilee is the LOWEST FRESHWATER LAKE ON THE EARTH....wow, check this out.... Jesus is our freshwater, without Jesus were dead, also the LOWEST. Jesus came to this earth and made himself the lowest, he put aside his deity and placed everything aside to come to this earth to redeem a dying and thirsty planet that has been surrounded by darkness. Everywhere Jesus went he let his eternal waters of His spirit overflow causing a breakout of the miraculous, healings, signs and wonders, Christ was pouring out his living waters.

The sea of Galilee to me is a representation of Christs humility and abundant living waters that is refreshing this planet even to this day! What a glorious savior, he desires to refresh your soul, just rest and receive his living waters as you float in the sea of Galilee!

You've been raised up to walk on stormy seas on the Sea of Galilee. Stand on the waters of Christ, and overcome your storm!
