Commentary on John 6:53
'Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.' This shocking statement intensifies the discourse. 'Eat' and 'drink' are metaphors for appropriating Christ's sacrificial death. Without personally receiving what Christ offers through His death, there is no spiritual life. The language anticipates the Lord's Supper while primarily describing faith-union with Christ.
