By eating him in the Eucharist, where we partake of his body, blood, soul, and divinity? What could be better than having God inside of you and being sanctified by his grace? This is how Jesus told us to thave a relationship with us:
John 6: 54-56
Jesus said to them, “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.
54
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.”
Luke 22:19
“Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”
Anyone who says He is speaking symbolically, and not literally, simply is refusing to look at all of the facts. Fact #1: The Jews took him literally, verse 52. Fact #2: His disciples took him literally, verse 60. Fact #3, the Apostles took him literally, verses 67-69. If everyone who heard him speak at the time took Him literally, then my question is: Why does anyone today, 2000 years after the fact, take him symbolically?
i love jesus 247: I agree with you 100% You have to do it all.
Nobody: read it again, he gave the BLESSING, and said this IS my body. this IS my blod. What part of IS don’t you understand? How can it be figurative when Jesus said this IS MY BODY.
Sandy: pray to understand the scriptures. His OWN disciples said that this is a hard teaching. Read John 6. His Own disciples left him over this teaching in verse 66, Notice Jesus didn’t call them back.
Nikki Read John 6 and pray. In Luke 22:19 He said this IS MY BODY. Do it in REMEMBERANCE means to repeat it always. What part of THIS IS MY BODY don’t you understand? Don’t you believe Jesus?
David V: In verse 63, he was talking about a human being’s body. Not his own. “The Flesh is of no avail”, he means Our flesh. His flesh is the bread of life in verse 48. and true food in v. 55.
You’re right we are saved by Baptism. That comes first, then we partake of the Eucharist, once we are Christians.
Acts 2:42
“They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers” that’s called Eucharist.
