“Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:53-54.

Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:

In His conversation in the synagogue in Capernaum with those who had been with Him on the hillside listening to His teaching and eating their fill of the bread and fish that had multiplied to feed them all and leave twelve baskets full of left overs, Jesus told them, “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.” John 6:27.

What is the food that endures to eternal life? I should think you would be seeking to eat it for I have put eternity in every person’s heart and make all things beautiful in their time. I conceived every one of you in Me on the evening of the sixth day of creation, I knew everything about you then, but when I birthed you forth into the world that is when it is your appointed time to shine. Just as I set the stars in the sky to shine upon and shed light upon the earth and for signs and appointed times and for days and years so I bring you forth and set you in your appointed times and days and years as signs of My love and faithfulness. Genesis 1:14-19. And I blessed all then on the day I conceived you to take dominion over the earth and to bear much fruit.

I set My seal on Jesus. What does that mean to you? A guarantee of eternal life in Him. My seal authenticated and approved Him as genuinely from Me and gave Him My authority and power. He is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him. And when I seal you in Him, My seal is on you as well.

So He will tell you what the food is that endures to eternal life. Remember that you do not live on physical bread alone but on every Word that proceeds from My mouth and that My Words are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. And Jesus is My Word manifested in the flesh, eternal flesh and blood.

He is your source of life. In this conversation, Jesus says that those who come to Him and eat of His body and believe and drink His blood will never hunger or thirst again. He is all you need because in Him is everything. Everything that was made, I made through Him and for Him. Including you. If you but knew My gift to you, you would ask Him for a drink and He will give you living water.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17.

Yesterday we left off where Jesus stated, “It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.” John 63:45-46.

I Myself will be your teacher, for all of you through Jesus in the New Covenant can know Me and learn from Me. I want you all to know Me from the least to the greatest, the baby to the elder, for in Jesus the sin that divided us is gone, like the mist in the morning sun. I have redeemed you so now is the time to come to Me in Him. Now is your time to shine.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Psalm 50:2.

And you who are in Jesus have come to Mt. Zion and the church of the firstborn and joined the righteous made perfect in Jesus. Beautiful in your time.

And Jesus reveals to you again and again that there is only one way to have eternal life and that is faith. Faith in Me and faith in the One whom I sent, Jesus Christ. That is your work, the work of faith, and My Work is the work of resurrection power, working in you and for you who are in Jesus even now giving you, if you will just take it by faith, more then you can ever even ask or think it is so overwhelmingly great. And that power is in you when I seal you in the Holy Spirit into Christ and He will raise you up on the Last Day. And that is guaranteed to you by Me placing upon you the seal of the Holy Spirit when you enter in by faith in Jesus.

And now let Jesus tell you about the eternal food you must eat to have eternal life abiding in you.

“I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:48-51.

This is the key to the Kingdom, to life eternal, to healing, to blessing, to provision, to power and I entrust this key to you, His body the Church and My royal priesthood.

Adam sinned in the flesh and murdered the eternal life he had therein. He was created eternal but when he was born again from below by the perishable seed of a lie, death entered into him and through his seed to all his descendants. But Jesus came and reversed the curse by giving His eternal life in the flesh for the eternal life Adam so foolishly gave away. Adam, like Esau, did not value his birthright so the devil stole it. And Esau gave his up for a bowl of beans and Adam for a fruit of a forbidden tree. And both ended up destroying their destiny, that is, the plan that would have made them shine forth in perfect beauty in their time.

But note each lost it for the eating of the food that did not give them life eternal, perishable food. Now look again at what Jesus said to the crowd that was only seeking perishable food: “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.” John 6:27.

But it was not until He took up the bread and the wine at the Last Supper that I gave you the revelation of the food for eternal life, the Covenant meal that seals you in Him in love. But this should not have been surprising to the Jews present that day. WHAT DID I HAVE THEM DO WITH THE PASSOVER LAMB WHO SAVED THEM FROM DESTRUCTION AND DELIVERED THEM OUT OF SLAVERY? They ate its flesh, its unblemished body, with unleavened bread and cups of wine. And that was how the sacrifices of the Old Covenant that I gave to Moses covered their sins as they traveled to the Promised Land and kept them under My protection and in the abundant life, they ate them with the unleavened bread and the sanctified drink offering of wine. And that is what Jesus and His disciples were eating, i.e., the flesh of the sacrificial lamb, the unleavened bread, and the cups of wine, at that Passover Seder meal the night the shadow became the substance that was sacrificed in the flesh the next day on the Cross but had already taken place as conceived and birthed in the Spirit when Jesus took up the bread and the wine and spoke the everlasting Covenant words that united His body and His blood forever with yours, giving you His eternal life as a new creation in Him. And you, His disciples, whom He released from your sins by His blood and healed you by His body, He made you a kingdom, priests unto Me forever. So that you can do this in remembrance of Him and renew in you over and over the forgiveness, the cleansing, the healing, and the great deliverance out of the slavery of sin and death to the eternal life of your promised land, the Kingdom of Heaven it has pleased Me to give you who are following the Lamb.

But the Jews present in that synagogue in Capernaum that Shabbat were not focused on the right things, such as that John the Baptist had identified My Son as the “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world,” or about the temple sacrifices but only on the physical of what was before their five senses and they could not understand eating His flesh and blood was going to be done with the elements of bread and wine, a change in substance that was miraculous beyond the miracle of the Manna which fell from Heaven.

So then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” John 6:52.

And just as no one would have made it out of Egypt and walked through the Red Sea as if on dry land laden with silver and gold without a sickly or feeble one among them without eating the flesh of the Passover lamb and putting its blood on the entrances to their homes, so too it is with you, unless you eat His flesh and drink His blood you have no life in you. No deliverance.

And the life is in the blood. And His blood is from Me, not from Adam’s seed for there was no seed of Adam in Mary only the imperishable seed of the Word come down from Heaven. The blood of Jesus is eternal, forever interceding for you.

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 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 also will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.” John 53-58.

There is so much treasure in these Words of Jesus for you to take into your heart that we will go more deeply into what Jesus has revealed to you here in our next Life Lesson.

I love you and I give you the guarantee of eternal life in My Son upon whom I have set My seal. Listen to Him, for in hearing Him you are hearing Me. We are one.
