SUNDAY- 20TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –B

Gospel: John 6:51-58: My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

I Reading: Proverbs 9:1-6: Eat my bread; drink the wine I have prepared for you.

II Reading: Ephesians 5:15-20: Recognise what is the Will of God.

The Results of Partaking of the Bread of Life, Jn 6:52-58

A person must receive and partake of the Bread of Life. When he/she does, he/she receives five wonderful things.

1.     The religionists were perplexed over Jesus’ words (v.52-53)

a.     They questioned partaking of His flesh

b.    Jesus proclaimed a much more shocking thing: unless one partakes of Him, he/she does not have life

2.     Result 1: Eternal life-conquering death and being resurrected (v.54)

3.     Result 2: true, not false satisfaction (v.55)

4.     Result 3: supernatural companionship and fellowship (v.56)

5.     Result 4: a life that is full of purpose and meaning (v.57)

6.     Result 5: incorruptible food received within the heart-energizing life forever (v.58)

Thought: It is the Living Bread, Christ Himself, who energizes and quickens a person to live forever.
