Jesus Explained The Eucharist The Day After
Feeding The 5000
"Amen,
amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his
blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is
true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me and I in him."
John
6:53-56
Jesus Gave Us The Eucharist For All Time The Night
Before He Died
"While they were eating,
Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples
said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave
it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the
covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. "
Matthew 26:26-28
Today Some Cannot Accept The Gift Just As
It Was In The Time Of Jesus
"'But
there are some of you who do not believe.' Jesus knew from the beginning the
ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, 'For
this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him
by my Father.' As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their
former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve,
'Do you also want to leave?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Master, to whom shall we
go? You have the words of eternal life.'"
John
6:64-68
Jesus Explained That Eternal Life
Is Gained Through The Spirit - Not Through The Flesh
Jesus' Flesh And Blood Are Of
Divine Nature (Spirit) And Not Of This World (Flesh)
"It
is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have
spoken to you are spirit and life."
John
6:64-68
It's NOT
Just Bread And Wine - It's NOT Just Crackers And Grape Juice
Jesus
Gave Us The Eucharist To Nourish Us Until He Returns
Come Home To HIS
Church And Accept HIS Holy Flesh And Blood
"Whoever
listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever
rejects me rejects the one who sent me."
Luke 10:16
