This is the second half of the Bread of Life Discourse. Last week we saw Jesus start statements with “Truly, truly,” three times. It helped us explore really hard questions about our own hearts. This week Jesus takes the metaphor a step further. Where He claimed to be the bread of life, now he makes an explicit call to eat His flesh and drink His blood.
