Awhile back, the angels asked me to dedicate Sundays gto the Gospels. With love and gratitude, here is the Gospel of John 6:41-51.
The Jews mur
mured about Jesus because he said,
“I am the bread that came down from heaven, “
and they said,
“Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph?
Do we not know his father and mother?
Then how can he say,
‘I have come down from heaven’?”
Jesus answered and said to them,
“Stop murmuring among yourselves.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him,
and I will raise him on the last day.
It is written in the prophets:
They shall all be taught by God.
Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.
Not that anyone has seen the Father
except the one who is from God;
he has seen the Father.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes has eternal life.
I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven
so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

Jesus is the Living Eucharist and Living Word incarnated so that whoever comes to Him shall have everlasting life. He is the Living Spiritual Communion of God and coming to Him will bring not only eternal peace and everlasting life – but those who believe remain in Him and in the Father who sent Him.
