So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. John 6:53

This is one of Jesus hardest teachings for people to understand, when Jesus taught this many people stopped following him. Why? Because they didn’t understand what Jesus was saying. Just like when Jesus was trying to teach Nicodemus the concept of being “Born Again” he was taking it literally instead of “Spiritually”, the same was happening with this teaching

Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?” John 6:60

Many of Jesus own disciples said “This was a difficult or hard teaching” “Who can listen or accept it?”  The Bible has many hard teachings, however that doesn’t mean we can dismiss or ignore them. God has a purpose for all his teachings and revelations. The reason nobody could understand this teaching was because they were thinking from the flesh and not by the Spirit

But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble? John 6:61

Jesus knew many would have problems with this teaching, but he wanted to see if they would still trust him. Would they still obey God even if it offends them? We see this a lot in Christianity today, many get offended by The Bible, therefor walk away from God. But this shows our true character, do we love ourselves more than God? Do we not trust God enough to follow him?

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. John 6:63

Jesus taught about Spiritual issues, therefor those who look at things from the flesh, don’t understand. We know that he was teaching them about communion (Lords Supper) the bread is symbolic of his flesh and the wine is symbolic of his blood. It makes sense to us today but at the time many didn’t understand and it caused them to stumble in their faith

Don’t allow hard or difficult teachings in the Bible to make you stumble in your faith. Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance, keep seeking for answers, and most importantly trust in Jesus!

The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Isaiah 52:10

Who is The Arm of God? Very simply its Jesus Christ, the prophet Isaiah by the Holy Spirit reveals several times through his teachings, that Jesus is the Arm of God. The Arm is very symbolic for strength, power, and hand work. However Jesus has strength and power that the Jewish people didn’t expect. He wasn’t a mighty pollical and military warrior. He was God that became flesh and defeated evil with wisdom and righteousness.

This is also very symbolic how the Trinity works, the Father and Son are separate but connected. As Jesus said “I and the Father Are One” (John 10:30) How can this be? Very simply that same way you and your arm are connected also. But the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all do the same will or essence of God, yet serve different functions

Notice this scripture says “God has revealed Jesus(Holy Arm) to “The Eyes of ALL Nations” meaning the entire world not just Israel.  “And ALL The Ends of The Earth” (World) Shall See Salvation (Jesus) of our God . The name Yeshua (Jesus) means Salvation, Jesus name is literally in this scripture. Hebrew names had meaning so calling Jesus (Yeshua) would be the same as calling him Salvation

“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12

Salvation can only be obtained through Jesus which literally means Salvation! The Arm of God has been revealed to the entire world so that everyone can come to salvation! Only by the blood of Christ can we be redeemed Amen!

Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.” John 6:27

What do you spend your time and energy working towards? Many are working extra hours , to make more money, to pay for that new car or bigger house. While its good to work hard, we also need to keep our eyes on the real prize! The objects we work for in this life are all temporary, that new car will become old in a few months, yet you will spend an unlimited amount of time paying for it. Does is it really bring the personal satisfaction that you desire?

Gods gift of salvation is forever through Jesus Christ! While its good to work and support our families, we also need to dedicate time to work for Christ! The real gift that does not perish. If Jesus is truly your Lord, the Biblical meaning of word Lord is Master. As a Christian you are a willing slave (bondservant) to Jesus Christ! He should be your first priority

Notice Jesus as says God has set his seal, through the blood of Christ we are sealed by the Holy Spirit! That means Satan and sin no longer have any control over your soul

In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation– having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:13

When you accepted Jesus as your Lord, you are sealed by The Holy Spirit! God has claimed you as his own, you are his child! The power of the blood of Christ has overcome every stronghold of this world

The Bread of Life is eternal which Jesus offers to us while the Bread of this world is temporary and will fade away , trust in Jesus Christ Amen!
