Christ Jesus
said to His Disciples:
'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.
Whoever
eats My Flesh and Drinks My Blood has Eternal Life,
And
I will Raise him Up At The Last Day.
For
My Flesh is Real Food and My Blood Real Drink.
Whoever
eats My Flesh and Drinks My Blood
REMAINS
IN ME, AND I IN HIM.
Just
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.
THIS
IS THE BREAD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
Our
forefathers ate manna and Died,
But
he who Feeds on This Bread will Live Forever,'
He
said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
On
hearing it, many of His Disciples said,
'THIS
IS A HARD TEACHING, WHO CAN ACCEPT IT?'
Aware
that His Disciples were Grumbling about this,
Jesus
said to them,
DOES
THIS OFFEND YOU?
What
if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before!
THE
SPIRIT GIVES LIFE; THE FLESH COUNTS FOR NOTHING.
The
words I have spoken to you are SPIRIT and they are LIFE.
Yet
there are some of you who do not Believe.'
For
Jesus had known from the Beginning
Which
of them did not Believe
AND
WHO WOULD BETRAY HIM.
He
went on to say,
'THIS
IS WHY I TOLD YOU
THAT
NO ONE CAN COME TO ME UNLESS THE FATHER HAS ENABLED HIM.'
From
this time many of His Disciples TURNED BACK
And
no longer followed Him.
'YOU
DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE TOO, DO YOU?'
Jesus
asked the Twelve.
Simon
Peter answered Him,
'LORD,
TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?
You
have the Words of Eternal Life.
We
Believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.'
Then
Jesus replied,
'HAVE
I NO CHOSEN YOU THE TWELVE?
YET
ONE OF YOU IS A DEVIL!'
(He
meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot,
Who,
though one of the Twelve, was later to Betray Him.)
(John
6:53-71)
For
those in the World, the Flesh counts for EVERYTHING!
For
them It is All that
counts.
The
World Adheres to their father, Satan's Theology:
For
All that is in the World, (All
that matters to them)
The
Lust of the Flesh [craving for sensual gratification],
And
the Lust of the Eyes [greedy longings of the mind]
And
the Pride of Life
[assurance
in one's own resources or stability of earthly things]--
Those
do not come from the Father
But
are from the World [itself].
And
the World Passes Away and Disappears,
And
with it the Forbidden Cravings
(The
passionate desires, the lust) of it;
But
he who does the Will of God
And
carries out His Purposes in his life,
Abides
(remains) Forever.
(1
John 2:16, 17, AMP)
CHRIST,
is the Bread of Life—The Word of God--
Those
who eat of this Bread will live Forever.
CHRIST'S
Spirit is the Water of Life--
Those
who Drink of it are Filled Continually with His Life--
It
becomes in them a Spring, Welling Up FOREVER.
Only
those CONSUMMATELY IDENTIFIED with Christ Jesus
Belong
to Him;
They
have eaten His Flesh and Drank His Blood;
They
have received His Spirit and His Life,
And
their Zeal for His House CONSUMES them.
THE
FLESH COUNTS FOR NOTHING!
