Verses:

 

John 6:57 “As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.”

 

Excerpts:

 

The crucial point in John 6 is that we are hungry and need Christ as our food. Today this Christ is not merely the incarnated and crucified One, nor merely the resurrected and ascended One. He is now the life-giving Spirit. We need Christ as our life supply. Day by day we should exercise our spirit to contact Him. Just as we have three meals every day, so we need to eat Christ as the bread of life again and again during the day. Even every moment we need to eat the One who is the Spirit who gives life. The One who is our Creator, Redeemer, Savior, Lord, and Master is the life-giving Spirit for us to contact all the time. Even though you may have been a Christian for many years, every day you are still hungry. Christ is not only your life; He is also your life supply, your daily food.

 

We need Christ as our life supply. We need Him to be our barley loaves and fish. We need Him as the generating life and the redeeming life. It is as the Spirit that Christ is this life to us. The Spirit who gives life is the generating life, the redeeming life, and the overcoming life. We need this Spirit as our life and life supply, as our food for daily nourishment. I hope that we all will be helped to realize our need for Christ as our life supply and then daily contact Him as the life-giving Spirit embodied in the Word. (The Fulfillment of the Tabernacle and the Offerings in the Writings of John, ch. 18)
