August 22, 2021 John 6:60-69
This is the last of our four weeks of Jesus’ sermon known as the “bread of life discourse.” The people call this teaching “hard.” The word in Greek means “scandalous.” This teaching of Jesus is scandalous/hard. Eat his Body? Drink his Blood? This teaching seems like cannibalism. Many leave. What is needed? The “eyes of faith,” namely, the insight of the Holy Spirit. What areas of our faith are “hard teachings” that need the insight of the Holy Spirit? This is the way we really see Jesus.
