Gospel Reflection: Jn 651-58

Gospel: Jn 651-58

Reflection:

Starting from this day, I now realize what keeps people believing in God and others not believing. From some people's point of view/way of thinking, flesh as bread and blood as drink literally means the flesh that comes from our muscle tissues and blood as in the red blood that circulates our body. Jesus telling us to eat his flesh and drink his  blood makes us think it s ridiculously impossible. That's what makes these people conclude that these are just make-believe stories, but the reason behind that, is that, we think of it in our human capacity level, we don't contemplate or think deeply of it. Eating flesh doesn't exactly mean consuming Jesus Christ's cardiac muscles and nerve fibers as well as drinking his blood, whatever the bible says ha sits own figurative interpretation/explanation. The difficulty of understanding these allegories and parables on the bible is what makes people, even the wittiest, most ingenious persons, apart or reluctant in believing God and Jesus' teachings.
