This is the fifth Lord's Day in which we will have considered this discourse of Jesus recorded in John 6. We are presently about half way through this passage in which the Lord Jesus is set forth as the Bread of life, whom God the Father sent in order to give life to the world. In our passage today, we read of our Lord Jesus becoming more direct and provocative with the Jews in the synagogue of Capernaum, who refused to believe on Him. As our Lord became more clear and direct, they became more hardened and belligerent in their unbelief. The nature of the passage and the divergent claims of its interpretation by disparate groups over the centuries, whose beliefs are practiced today across the world, make it necessary that we address them. Not only are we to proclaim what is good and true, but we are to warn people against what is bad and false. And so in our notes today we give particular attention to the idolatrous and blasphemous practice of the Roman Catholic Mass with its teaching of transubstantiation. Rome's claim and practice that their "priests" repeatedly offer Christ in bloodless sacrifices on a consecrated altar made holy by a relic is unbiblical and is the committing of the sin of idolatry by all who participate. From the earliest days of the Protestant Reformation the belief and practice of Rome respecting the Mass has been refuted and discredited both biblically and historically.
