What sign can you do?

John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

Thank you Grandma Hahn for the hat!!! And if you look closely you'll see she has her hearing aids. And as with the eye patch, she is already getting pretty good at ripping them out of her ears! I gave up on the patches (as it takes her less than a few minutes until she takes it off) until I speak with the doctor in a week and a half. The audiologist mentioned a bonnet that she could wear if she starts taking them off...in the meantime maybe grandma's hat will work ;-)

A chorus of "AWWWW" over here from my littles. Might we be seeing her one Sunday morning at the gym? BTW everyone I've "recruited" is failing the FB Bible quiz!
