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,

Very nice, Jim. I love that the wood came from your land. How long did it cure before you milled it?

Wow that is amazing!! It looks like something you'd buy in an expensive antique store.

My grandfather had it sawed into boards years ago and it sat in the barn for probably 8-10 years before I had it planed (sp).

Thanks Patience, that's the look I was shooting for, an old rustic shoe bench. We love it, cleans up the room and gives us (adults) a place to sit when we're putting on our shoes.
