He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me

(John 6:60)Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

Jesus said in verses 55-57, “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 』, but the disciples said it was difficult. Because in the Old Testament it is not allowed to drink the blood of beasts. But Jesus believes and follows that he is the Son of God, saying, ``He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 』. So the disciples grumbled, and Jesus said again in verse 63.

『When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? He It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 』

It was difficult for people to accept what Jesus was saying. When Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, did Jesus tell Nicodemus, who knows the Old Testament well, "You must be born again" that is difficult to accept?

Even today, it will not be easy to accept the words of Jesus, "Do not love the world." Even if he said words that are difficult to accept, there are some who follow Jesus, and some who do not follow because they are difficult. People just want to reach salvation by putting aside difficult words and choosing words that are easy to believe.

Jesus said again in verse 65, "And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. People are more familiar with the words of Matthew, "Come to me, all those who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Why are the two Gospels of John and Matthew different? The Gospel of Matthew is easily accepted by those who attend church. The Gospel of Matthew believes that if we choose to go to the Lord, we will let the Lord rest. However, it does not come easily to the words of verse 65.

And people might think, "I don't need to work hard." You will think that the person led by the Lord will come naturally. And in verse 66, "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 』People are leaving, so why did Jesus say this? More people would want to be saved, but why did Jesus say this, knowing that he would be leaving?

Afterwards, there is a conversation with Peter: ``Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. "I answered. We always hope for the Lord's mercy before we try. This is the one who is under the law who does not want the mercy of the Lord and strives hard. These people believed in Jesus, but they left him. Like Lot's wife, we can abandon God by trusting and following God. People don't know they can be Lot's wife. So you have to fear God. Only if there is no faith united with Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, he will be a thrower of Jesus.

In 1 John 2:15-16, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 』

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...

Healing a man with a withered hand

  Healing a man with a withered hand Mark 3:1-5 『 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 』 The Greek word for “ the man which had the withered hand ” is “ ἐ ξηραμμέ νην ἔ χων τ ὴ ν χε ῖ ρα” . In Revelation 14:15, “ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; “ Exerande ” is the same wor...
