Jn. 6:
60-65: The Jews refuse to accept Jesus’ doctrine on the Eucharist. Jesus
appeals to them pointing to his resurrection. “It is the Spirit that gives life
and flesh cannot help”(6:63). Eucharist is not purely materialistic but also it
is the body or flesh of the risen Christ transformed by the spirit; it is this
spiritual and glorified body of Christ that acts in us spiritually, unites us
with God and thereby endows us with divine life. So the sacrament of the
Eucharist is an effective means of communicating eternal life to us because of
Christ’s words and his spirit.
