John 6:22-71: How to respond when people don’t/won’t “get it.”

Jesus is placed in a situation where people can’t/won’t understand what He has done/is doing. How does He respond?

What does He do?

1.    He persists in trying to get them to understand.

2.    He goes back to the point that He is only doing/saying what the Father has charged him to do/say.

3.    He trusts that the Father’s plan is valid, even though it is not meeting with universal/complete acceptance.

What does he not do?

4.    He does not blow them off, dismiss them.

5.    He does not change, back away from, the message the Father charged Him with delivering.

6.    He does not berate or punish them.

7.    He is not discouraged by their failure to understand, accept, “get,” what he is saying.
