The Food that Builds the Church

Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Today, Jesus continues His program and teaching on the food that builds the Church. Bread that, as we heard today, one may eat of it and not die. The food that builds the church. But I think we're sometimes like the people in Jesus' day, who were thinking with their stomachs. Jesus said, this is the will of my Father, not that we have a good and comfortable life here for a while, but that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life, and I will raise Him up on the last day. And for that we need the food that builds the church.
