I am the Bread of life
John 6:35–36(NJB): 35 Jesus answered them: I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever hunger; no one who believes in me will ever thirst. 36 But, as I have told you, you can see me and still you do not believe.
Jesus claims to be the Bread of Life. How Jesus became our bread of life? He gave up his life and allowed his body to be sacrificed on the Cross. He demonstrated how God can be an oblation to make it permanent nourishment, so preventing us from hungering for anything, and his blood became to quench our thirst eternally. Jesus is promising that as we consume the Eucharist, we shall live in him and he will live in us. John 6:54–56 (NJB): Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person. But there is one condition, he argues, that while we eat his Body and Blood, our confidence in his living presence in the Eucharist is important.
