What happensPermalink
Jesus feeds the five thousand. He walks on water out to the boat. He calls Himself the bread of life and says that one must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus prefigures the New Covenant and the Last Supper: to take part in His flesh and blood is to fully trust in His atoning death.
Key versePermalink
“Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
