Jesus Is Offensive -- For You!

Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink... Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever. Do you take offense at this? Jesus asked. Yes, they did. And many left. It is offensive, scandalous, a hard saying. Whoever feeds on this bread -- on Him, on His Word, on His forgiveness, and most especially on His Body and Blood -- will live forever.
