Why do some people loathe the bread of life?

Answered in 1 source

Some loathe Christ because their hearts remain rebellious and unfulfilled, preferring the emptiness of worldly desires.

In Numbers 21:5, the Israelites complain about the manna, referring to it as 'light bread' that they loathe. This response reflects a deeper spiritual condition: a rejection of God's provision in favor of worldly cravings. The sermon emphasizes that this phenomenon is not new; humanity's nature remains unchanged, demonstrated by how even those who were part of the congregation experienced dissatisfaction with divine provision. This rejection mirrors the response of some in today's world who find no satisfaction in Christ, seeking instead what the world offers. The carnal mind is inherently at enmity with God (Romans 8:7), showing that a disdain for Christ and His gospel can arise from a heart fixed on worldly pleasures rather than the eternal sustenance He provides.
