“I am the Living Bread that came down from Heaven. Whoever eats of this Bread will live forever and the Bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” –John 6:51 (NRSVCE) Image Courtesy: EWTN
Jesus said, ” I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty but I said to you that you have seen Me and yest do not believe. Everything that the Father gives Me will come to me and anyone who comes to Me I will never drive away.
For I have come down from Heaven not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me and this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I should lose nothing of all that He has given Me but raise it up on the last day.
This is indeed the will of My Father, that all who see the Son and believe in Him may have eternal life and I will raise them up on the last day.” –John 6:35-40
The Instruction of The Lord’s Supper
For I (Paul) received from the Lords what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took a loaf of bread and when He had given Thanks He broke it and said, “This is My Body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”
In the same way He tool the cup also after supper saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood. Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of Me.”
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. –1 Corinthians 11:23-26
