John 6:44–51
Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless drawn by
the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is
written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by 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. Very truly, I
tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your
ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread
that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the
living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live
forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
Reflection
How do I understand “No one can come to me unless
drawn by the Father who sent me”? Do I feel honoured being among the chosen
ones?
Do I believe that the bread that Jesus will gives for
the life of the world is his flesh? How
does my believe or my disbelieve affects my relationship with Jesus?
