Looking for Jesus - v22-26
You need Better Manna(s) - v27-34
The exact source of the quotation is disputed. The most likely passage is Psalm 78:24 (LXX 77:24), but the Greek has echoes also of Nehemiah 9:15 and perhaps Exodus 16:4, 15; Psalm 105:40. Perhaps John is quoting the Old Testament loosely and alluding to all three passages.
Jesus the bread of life (absolutely everything you need in life - and eternal security is found in belief in Jesus!!) - v35-48
Flesh and Blood
What is promised to the person who eats Jesus’ flesh and drinks his blood is eternal life and resurrection at the last day (6:54), and such things are elsewhere in the Fourth Gospel promised to those who believe in the Son, or receive him. It begins to sound as if the language should be taken metaphorically, not sacramentally (in the most theologically ‘loaded’ sense of ‘sacrament’).
Eating the Flech - Very normal idea - v49-59
Eating the flesh of the Son of Man is a striking, metaphorical way of saying that the gift of God’s real ‘bread of life’ (v. 35) is appropriated by faith (v. 47). We must appropriate him into our inmost being. Indeed, as Beasley-Murray (p. 99) points out, we are more familiar with this kind of ‘eating’ metaphor than we may realize: we devour books, drink in lectures, swallow stories, ruminate on ideas, chew over a matter, and eat our own words. Doting grandparents declare they could eat up their grandchildren. On the very face of it, ‘The theme of John 6 is Christology.’
if in dialogue with the church and therefore somewhat aware of the church’s regular celebration of the Lord’s supper, would be likely to see in the rite itself a pictorial pointer to the central object of faith, the Lord Jesus himself. ‘John 6 is not about the Lord’s Supper; rather, the Lord’s Supper is about what is described in John 6.’
