Good morning. Jesus’ response to their question about how
can a man give us His flesh to eat made them even more confused, since they
were thinking in the natural. Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and
drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. That made one think of
cannibalism. Not only that, the Jews were extra careful to not consume the
blood of any animal, since that was condemned by God. He who eats My flesh and
drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
There’s that last day thing again. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is
true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in
him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who
eats Me, he will also live because of Me.This is the bread which came down out
of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats is this bread will live
forever. This really got the people upset, and it is understandable, since they
were thinking in the natural. It is a surprise that any of His disciples stayed
with Him after this. Father thank You that we have partaken of that bread that
came down out of heaven. Make this a glorious day for the reader.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
