John 6:53

Jesus answered, Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

Jesus' challenge in this verse emphasizes the absolute necessity of participating in His sacrificial death. The language of eating His flesh and drinking His blood is shocking, but it is meant to illustrate the intimacy and totality of the relationship He offers. By saying, "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you," Jesus is making it clear that there is no spiritual life apart from Him. His body and blood represent the means through which we receive eternal life—His death, burial, and resurrection. To embrace Jesus as the bread of life is to accept His sacrifice as the means of salvation. This verse challenges us to examine our faith and ask whether we are truly living in union with Christ, receiving life from Him daily. The act of eating and drinking symbolizes the total acceptance of Christ’s work on the cross and the continuous reliance on Him for spiritual nourishment. Only by partaking in Christ's life-giving work can we have life within us.
