Listen "Eating Flesh, Drinking Blood"

Episode Synopsis

Jesus scandalized his audience by declaring, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." This shocking imagery points to a spiritual reality: salvation comes only through feeding on Christ by faith.



In John 6:51-59, we explore what it means to truly feast on Jesus. The religious leaders stumbled over Christ's offensive language, unable to grasp that eternal life requires more than intellectual assent: it demands living union with the Savior. Jesus deliberately intensifies the offense, insisting that his flesh is "true food" and his blood is "true drink."



To feed on Christ means to trust wholly in his atoning sacrifice, to abide in him daily, and to find our spiritual sustenance in him alone. This is not mere theological knowledge because even demons possess that. True faith produces transformation: changed desires, renewed priorities, and lives increasingly conformed to Christ.



There is no other bread that satisfies the soul's deepest hunger. Christ alone is the living bread from heaven, and all who feed on him will live forever.
