Gospel Note
The two "I am the bread" sayings here are followed by a series of declarations to the effect that it is God who provides the spiritual nourishment and who takes the initiative in drawing people to belief. Verses 45 and 46 do not teach a clear doctrine of predestination, but certainly can be used to support one, if only because, like the doctrine, they point to God's sovereignty in the redemptive process.
