Jesus said to the crowds: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."
If you've ever tried a diet, you know that it won't work unless you're completely committed. In fact, I don't believe in "dieting", but in simply making good nutritional choices and choosing healthy foods. A good, balanced, healthy lifestyle nourishes your body and gives you strength.
This is a lot like a relationship with Jesus Christ. If you are not committed to developing your relationship with Jesus, if you do not choose to be consumed by Jesus Christ daily from morning to night, you will never live the life that Jesus offers us.
Be transformed by feasting on the word of God.
