The Bread of Life Discourse

Gospel

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."

 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. 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. 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."

Reaction

        The bread of Life Jesus is telling us to come to him. This is a clear sign that he welcomes us in his presence. He knows that we need him and he respond with his heart. How to do this? He told us first that he is the answer to all our needs. This means that that Jesus is the clear way, truth and life.
