Good evening everyone.
Here is a passage of scripture that has been freaking people out for centuries. I pick it up after the crowds listening to Jesus flipped.
John 6.
Jesus didn't give an inch. "Only insofar as you eat and drink flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of the Son of Man, do you have life within you. The one who brings a hearty appetite to this eating and drinking has eternal life and will be fit and ready for the Final Day. My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. By eating my flesh and drinking my blood you enter into me and I into you. In the same way that the fully alive Father sent me here and I live because of him, so the one who makes a meal of me lives because of me. This is the Bread from heaven. Your ancestors ate bread and later died. Whoever eats this Bread will live always."
This passage is talking about spiritual things but they couldn’t see spiritually. Many non-christians still flip over this. We practice the ritual of communion to remember the new covenant and the sacrifice of Jesus’ blood and body. And that is wonderful!
Another way to commune with Jesus is ‘eating’ the word. It says in Job that the ear tastes words like the tongue tastes food. In Proverbs it says the word is life and health to your flesh.
Another way to commune with Jesus is prayer. Not just talking to Him, listening as well. Prayer can be defined as living communion with God. A continual awareness of the presence of the Lord. So eat and drink Him, and live!
I love you all.
healed by His stripes,
