John 6:47-59
During our Jesus Unfiltered series, we’re looking at the fact that many of us take our preconceptions to the Bible, and miss out on what we really need to hear.
We now come to what may very well be the hardest of all these sayings. In fact, after Jesus spoke these words, the people who heard them responded like this:
When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” (John 6:60 ESV)
So exactly what had Jesus said to elicit such a response? We find the words in verse 53: 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 you. (John 6:53 ESV)
