John 6:57
« As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he who eats me will live also by me. »
MEDITATION:
God wants Jesus to be a food for us.
And Jesus also says of himself :
« He who eats me will live also by me. »
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying:
« How can he give us his flesh to eat? »
And Jesus, instead of helping out; rather, asserted the great truth that he taught, on which depended the salvation of the individual. He told them:
« Verily, verily, I say to you: If you do not eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day » (v 53, 54).
In fact, we feed on Christ in the light unveiled in the Word, seeing and meditating on what the Holy Spirit reveals his beauty and his glory and his finished work at Calvary.
It is as well that we take advantage of Jesus. It is like having a good meal.
And when we do this, we not only are transformed by the presence of Jesus in us, but also we are assured of eternal life: « he that eateth this bread shall live for ever »(v 58).
He who feeds on Christ has life in common with him, since it is his life, in the same way that the life of Christ is inseparable from the Father.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us always the appetite to eat the flesh of Christ.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
