“EAT MY FLESH AND DRINK MY BLOOD”
Notes:
“‘I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.
This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world…
Very truly I tell you, 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 them up at the last day.'” (John 6:51, 53)

“None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” (1 Corinthians 2:8)
“‘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 have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.'” (John 6:67-69)
