Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me

Published: August 17, 2012

 

John 6:51-58

Jesus said to the crowd: ‘I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ 52The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’

So Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. 57

    Nurturing private integrity connects a person to the ultimate source of all Being, the Ultimate Power, the power that Jesus called his "Father".
