No, it’s clear from the context that Jesus was referring to spiritual nourishment. He used the metaphor of food and drink to contrast the temporary relief of food with eternal spiritual life. Jesus said, “Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

Eternal life can only be found by believing in Christ: “Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

Scripture. It just doesn’t work with me and the Holy Spirit.

YOPIOS — not the way to study scripture, at least not for me.
