It's clear from the context of John 6 that Jesus was speaking of spiritual and not physical nourishment. Assuming that Jesus meant to literally eat his body and drink his blood is the same mistake that Nicodemus made as described in John 3. In that chapter Jesus used another term that typically has a physical connotation - birth. Nicodemus thought that Jesus was referring to a physical rebirth, but Jesus meant a spiritual rebirth.

In the same way, Jesus was not referring to the physical act of eating and drinking in John 6. Instead, he used the metaphor of eating and drinking to mean spiritual sustenance. Jesus taught that only He can provide everlasting, spiritual nourishment.

I agree that only Jesus can provide everlasting spiritual nourishment.

But he also gives me his body, blood, soul and divinity every day at Mass. I love the fact that the Catholic Church has Mass every day. Every single day I receive our Lord.

How amazing is that?

Close to Jesus? You bet.

**It’s clear from the context of John 6 that Jesus was speaking of spiritual and not physical nourishment.**

You might be mistaken there, for people sometimes fasting have survived for months with just the host for nourishment and water.

Yes, it is probably a miracle, but nevertheless, it has happened.
