FRIDAY-3rd WEEK OF EASTER-B
I Reading: Acts 9:1-20:
This man is my chosen instrument to bring my name before pagans.
Gospel: John 6:52-59: My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
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 with in the heart-energizing life forever (v.58)
Thought:
Unless a person receives (eats and drinks) Christ, he/she has no life within
him. He/she is a dead person spiritually and eternally. He/she is walking
around a dead person. (Eph 2:1; 5:14; Col 2:13, 1Tim 5:6; Rev3:1)
