You Are What You Eat

"You are what you eat!" What a strange saying.

John 6:53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

Jesus said something simular to, you are what you eat. His desire was to have us eat Himself! Wow, no wonder many could not understand what He was really saying.

Jesus was saying, "I must become your consuming meal. I must be the One who sustains you. I must be the One who gives you life!" Jesus in His wisdom was laying out the deit of the human spirit. Our spirits are meant to live on Christ!

When we drink in the Word of God and seek to know Him deep within, we experience life. The Lord's desire is that we might have life and life abundantly. There is nothing that our spirit truely longs for outside of Christ. Now our flesh is the opposite, it longs to devouer everything that the world has to offer. The flesh seeks life on an earthly realm.

You are what you eat, so eat Christ! May He be our sustaining meal. Our life and our blood. As today was a day of worship to our Lord I feel I have eaten well today. I praised Him, heard the Scriptures, helped out those who needed a hand, laughed with those who laughed and wept with those who wept. I enjoyed Christ today.

1 Peter 2:2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
