(John 6:55 NIV)
This scripture shows humanity that as we partake in the body and blood of Christ, offered through the sacrifice of His life, we shall live in Him. While those that He spoke to in the passage took the statement literally, this explanation of His body and blood as sustenance was a figurative foretelling of His earthly mission-to come to earth to die and rise to secure humanity's eternity. The physical and spiritual amalgamate. The word is now a living being named Jesus who really placed His life on the line to liberate all believers.
