This presentation, based on John 6:22-59, begins with the story of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where characters skip school and inadvertently destroy a prized Ferrari because they "did not begin their day with the end in mind". This illustrates the sermon's core premise: like engineers meticulously planning projects, we must plan our lives with the ultimate outcome, eternity, in view.

Jesus has just miraculously fed 5,000 people and walks on water, setting the context during Passover, a time when the Jewish people remembered God providing manna in the wilderness. However, the crowd seeks Jesus not because they understood his divine signs, but because they "ate their fill of loaves" and desired more physical food. Jesus rebukes them, urging them: "Do not work for food that perishes but for food that endures to eternal life".

Jesus proclaims, "I am the bread of life". Unlike the manna, which their ancestors ate and died, this "true bread from heaven" offers eternal life and complete satisfaction; whoever believes will never hunger or thirst again. This is the first of seven "I AM" statements in John, revealing Jesus's divine nature. Salvation comes through believing in Jesus, who is both fully God and fully man.

To orient one's life for what matters most, the presentation emphasizes three points:

1. Focus on eternity, making decisions that will matter 10,000 years from now.

2. Recognize that only Jesus can satisfy forever, offering eternal security.

3. Receive the life-giving sacrifice of Jesus, meaning to believe in Him and His human and divine natures.

Jesus's challenging words about eating his flesh and drinking his blood are not about physical consumption or literal communion, but about believing and partaking of Him. We must guard against modern distractions that prevent us from thinking about eternity and living purposefully for God.
