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.
