Ben's Brain Dump

⁵² Then the evil people began to argue among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

⁵³ Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, you must eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood. Otherwise, you won't have real life in you. ⁵⁴ Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day.⁵⁵ My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.⁵⁶ Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.⁵⁷ The living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father. So whoever eats me will live because of me. ⁵⁸ I am not like the bread your ancestors ate. They ate that bread and still died. I am the bread that came down from heaven, and whoever eats this bread will live forever." ⁵⁹

^{I don't know about u but after i read that i was pretty dang shocked!!}

^{it was a "Holy Crap" moment!!}

^{this pretty grotesque and weird picture of Jesus is something that we don't preach in the church much}

^{that we have to actually take a bite out of Jesus in order to fully receive his life}

^{at communion we sit down and say that the bread represents Jesus's Body}

^{we don't emphasize that were actually eating him!!}

^{i think that this creepy cannibalism is the test of true dedication!!}

^{"When Christ Calls a Man he Bids him to come and DIE" Dietrich Bonhoeffer"}

We essentially have to die to ourselves to the point that Eating the very flesh of our Savior doesn't stop us!!

We have to be able to eat the Edible Jesus in order to receive the true life that is found in him

we have to eat the Edible Jesus to unlock the unlimited power in his Blood!

Taking a bite out of Edible Jesus
