It is very clear from this verse that the food is not being given to all, but only those who “work” for the food which endures to eternal life. If your exegesis is correct then EVERYONE gets the food that endures to eternal life! No, Jesus doesn’t say “if you work, I’ll give” but He is saying His giving of the food is contengent on those working for the food which endures to eternal life. Now, let’s get really calvinistic here! The seeking is not of a man’s on “will” but of the will of the Father. I appreciate what you are trying to do by “breaking this down” but you’re missing the point of this verse by not taking it in its full context.
