Jhn 6:24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
Jhn 6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
Jhn 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

Ray, even Jesus had to deal with people who saw Him as some kind of superhero rockstar. We need to see Him as the Son of God, Our Redeemer, God in the Flesh, to be followed not because of superficial image but because He is worthy of dieing for.
Yes, people will always want full bellies and have their ears tickled but those are the $20 sermons. Jesus has given us a $million sermon to preach - don't short-change anyone.
