What Did Jesus Mean, Drink His Blood?

 

Today's verse is John 6:35

      And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 

    Much has been made of Jesus saying, “Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.” Yet some things that we know. First, except for a short time during the week of the passion, Jesus always spoke in Parables. Second and third, this passage is sandwiched between two statements which give context for understanding what he is saying. The verse given above is the first statement, and the second is, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” So, as it is easier to understand from the verse above, to drink of the Blood of Christ is believe on him, that is to know that when Jesus Died upon the Cross, he did so in your place, that your sin might be paid for, and you are thereby counted forgiven, even Justified, by God. Now, the other, may be a little harder to Suss out, but Jesus Christ is the Word of God, and I fully believe that we eat his flesh by Reading and heading his Word, but while you are doing that, forget not to Ruminate on it as well, then when you have opportunity, Regurgitate it. Amen.

To God be the Glory
