Thursday
Read John 6:51-58
51 I am the living bread that came down
from heaven. If you eat this bread, you will live forever. The bread that I
will give you is my flesh, which I give so that the world may live.”
52 This started an angry argument among them. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked.
53 Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them to life on the last day. 55 For my flesh is the real food; my blood is the real 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 because of him I live also. In the same way whoever eats me will live because of me. 58 This, then, is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread that your ancestors ate, but then later died. Those who eat this bread will live forever.”

Think
To eat Jesus flesh and drink his blood is
not just about eating bread and wine at communion; it is about living in
him. Living in Jesus way of thinking and
being. In Jesus intentions.
Pray
Lord help me to want what you want and love
what you love.
