<p>6:28 <i>They replied to him: What must we do, that we may work the works of God?</i>- They ignored His challenge regarding accepting His life, by enquiring how they too could do miracles. This is the same wrong perspective which is characteristic of Pentecostalism: How can I do miracles?</p><p>The people had walked all around the lake to see Jesus and get some food from Him. They ask what they can <i>do</i> that they might work / labour same Greek word the works of God; and they are told that the real work / labour which God requires is to believe (Jn. 6:28). To truly believe, to the extent of being sure that we will surely have the eternal life promised, is the equivalent of walking around the lake. We like those crowds want to concretely <i>do</i> something. The young man likewise had asked what good thing he must <i>do </i>in order to get eternal life (Mt. 19:16). But the real work is to <i>believe</i>. To really make that enormous mental effort to accept that what God has promised in Christ will surely come true for us. The proof that this is so is because Jesus really said these words, and &ldquo;him hath God the Father sealed&rdquo;, i.e. shown His confirmation and acceptance of. So again we come down to the implications of real basics. Do we believe Jesus existed and said those words? Yes. Do we believe the Biblical record is true and inspired? Yes. Well, this Jesus who made these promises and statements about eternal life was &ldquo;sealed&rdquo; / validated by God. Do we believe this? Yes. So, what He said is utterly true. He will come and live within us, if we eat of Him, if we are open to Him.</p>
