There are many people in the world today, even those who go to church, who would say that they are Christians, if you asked them, and yet they do not understand the reality of the truth of what the Lord Jesus was talking about here; the great truths that He was presenting to them. We see here, that after Jesus fed the 5,000, He then preached to them about the absolute necessity of their spiritually feeding upon Himself in order to have everlasting life. That is what this passage is about. If any person is to live forever and have eternal life, they must by faith, spiritually partake of the Lord Jesus Christ. As we look at this passage we find that our Lord describes Himself as better bread than the earthly manna which God gave to the Israelites in the wilderness; better in these 4 ways. 1st – If you eat of Him you will not die. (verses 48-51) 2nd – If you eat of Him you will have spiritual life in you. (verses 52 and 53) 3rd – If you eat of Him, He will raise you up on the last day. (verses 54 and 55) And 4th – If you eat of Him, you will abide in Him. (verses 56-58) As I preach to you these blessed truths, will you not ask yourself whether you are a person who is feeding upon Christ?
