His flesh is his "words". Spiritual food for the spirit that gives life. Jesus doesn't want us to feed on someone else's flesh...ie strange flesh which is to go outside of the scriptures, and accept a doctrine from someone else, but to keep inside the scriptures and he will feed us directly.

Guest Robert Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Scripture tells us in Genesis that "the blood is the life". If we take it in that regard, the "body" would be Jesus' teaching, and the "blood" would be His life. I believe what He is saying in this verse is that we are to "consume" (that is, take in and live by), His words and the life He lived here on Earth. Faithful to God unto death, always putting the Father's will ahead of His own, a humble servant, not seeking His own desires but the Father's.

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. Matthew 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. 1 Corinthians 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. Jesus was persecuted for righteousness sake. If we shall be like him, we must be prepared to drink of the same cup that he drank of. In other words, be prepared to suffer also as he did. Be prepared for what is coming as he was. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
