True Communion [circa 2022] (Part 1) | Ep. 199

“Eat my flesh and drink my blood.” If you’ve ever read John 6 and thought, "What does that even mean?!" You are not alone. Understanding this phrase Jesus used becomes a doorway into communion, the Word of God, and the kind of spiritual discernment Scripture says we must have if we want to truly understand Jesus’ voice. We lean into the Bible’s plain contrast between the natural mind and the Spirit-led mind, using 1 Corinthians to explain why spiritual truth can sound like “foolishness” when we try to process it only through human logic. Then we get practical about the daily war between flesh and spirit, pulling from Galatians 5 and Romans 7 to name the struggle, the stumbles, and the hope: God’s hand still reaches out and says, get up. Our reasoning matters, but it has to submit to the supremacy of God’s Word and God’s will. From there, we build the meaning of communion from the ground up: Deuteronomy 8, manna in the wilderness, and “man shall not live by bread alone.” That foundation leads straight into Jesus as the bread of life, the manifest Word made flesh, and why His shocking language about flesh and blood is calling us to something spiritual, life-giving, and covenant-deep. If you care about Bible study, Christian discipleship, the Lord’s Supper, and learning to hear and obey God’s voice, this is for you.
