Off to be killed…

…and then raised again.
Not going to receive any special instructions. Not going to find out any secrets for spiritual living.
Not going to get prodded with the stick of how I should be feeding the poor and helping the sick, and visiting the lonely…(all of which I should be doing).
I am going to receive the Word [...]

“You must eat my body and drink my blood”

“You must eat my body and drink my blood or you have no life in you.” (John 6:53)

OK.  Jesus said it.  He says “truly, truly…” before he says it.
Do you really think it is quite as serious as that? Or are we making too much of this command?
