  2. The Bread Of Life

  3. John 6:51–61 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

  4. 52Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

  5. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

  6. 57Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever.”

  7. 59He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. 60On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” 61Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?

  10. Both Jesus and the people are talking about what sustains life • Jesus claims that the source of eternal life is in himself • “I AM the bread of life”

  11. 54Whoever eats MY flesh and drinks MY blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For MY flesh is real food and MY blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats MY flesh and drinks MY blood remains in me, and I in him. 57… the one who feeds on ME will live because of me.

  12. As we eat bread for physical life, so we need to “eat his flesh and drink his blood” to sustain eternal life … spiritual life

  13. A METAPHOR … • a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them

  14. AN ANALOGY: • an inference that if two or more things agree with one another in some respects they will probably agree in others • resemblance in some particulars between things otherwise unlike

  15. John 6:63 63The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

  16. John 6:27–29 27Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” 28Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

  17. WE DRAW NOURISHMENT FROM JESUS HIMSELF … • FROM HIS PERSON • FROM HIS PRESENCE

  18. John 14:16–18 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

  19. John 6:66–69 66From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
