You Are What You Eat

John 6:43-71

The old saying "you are what you eat" applies here. Jesus, of course, was not referring to His actual flesh (and we'll stay out of the transubstantiation arguments here). He's talking about partaking in his death, the life that his flesh and blood, rent and spilled, gives us. But I love the idea of "you are what you eat" here. Because if we metaphorically eat Jesus, we DO become more like Him over time. The more we take in Christ, the more we become Christ-like. Lord, help us to do so.
