In this sermon on John 6:52–59, Zack DiPrima continues through Jesus’ Bread of Life discourse in Capernaum, explaining the meaning of Christ’s shocking statement that believers must “eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood.” Beginning with the historic debate over the Lord’s Supper during the Protestant Reformation—including the Council of Trent, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Knox—the message clarifies that Jesus is not teaching salvation through the sacrament itself, but calling sinners to faith in Christ. To eat the bread of life is to believe in Jesus with whole-souled trust and to abide in Christ, living in ongoing communion with the triune God. The sermon concludes with practical implications: abiding in Christ requires diligent use of the means of grace, faithful commitment to the local church, and produces bold perseverance—even in the face of death.
