约翰福音-John 6 章 51~56节

6:51 我是从天上降下来的活粮，人若吃这粮，就必永远活着。我所要赐的粮，就是我的肉，为世人的生命所赐的。
I am the living bread which came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever; And the bread which I will give is My flesh, given for the life of the world.
6:52 于是犹太人彼此争论说，这个人怎能把祂的肉给我们吃？
The Jews then contended with one another, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat?
6:53 耶稣说，我实实在在的告诉你们，你们若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就没有生命在你们里面。
Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life within yourselves.
6:54 吃我肉喝我血的人，就有永远的生命，在末日我要叫他复活。
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.
6:55 我的肉是真正的食物，我的血是真正的饮料。
For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
6:56 吃我肉喝我血的人，就住在我里面，我也住在他里面。
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me and I in him.

亮光

从前所有的逾越节羊羔，乃是基督的预表。如今祂是为他们被杀的真正羊羔。祂的血将为他们的罪而流，祂的肉将为他们所吃，好作他们真正的生命。一面，祂的血要救赎他们脱离他们的罪；另一面，祂的肉要供应他们生命。

在这一章里，主好几次说，吃祂的人要因祂活着。（约六51，57，58。）五十三节说，『我实实在在的告诉你们，你们若不吃人子的肉，不喝人子的血，就没有生命在你们里面。』藉着吃喝基督，我们就被基督充满。然后我们才能正确的为神而活。

在五十四节主说，『吃我肉喝我血的人，就有永远的生命，在末日我要叫他复活。』这里肉和血是分开题起的。血和肉分开是指明死。因此，主在这里清楚指明祂的死，也就是祂的被杀。祂为我们舍了身体，流了血，使我们得着永远的生命。吃祂的肉，就是凭信接受祂为我们舍了身体所作成的一切。喝祂的血，就是凭信接受祂为我们流血所完成的一切。这样吃祂的肉喝祂的血，就是相信祂在十字架上为我们所作成的，好在祂的救赎里，接受祂作生命和生命的供应。我们把这节与四十七节相比，就能看见，吃主的肉，喝主的血，等于相信祂，因为信或信入，就是接受。

Enlightenment:

All former Passover lambs were a type of Christ. Now He is the real Lamb who will be slain for them. His blood will be shed for their sins, and His flesh will be eaten for their real life. On the one hand, His blood will redeem them from their sins; on the other hand, His flesh will supply them with life.

Several times in this chapter the Lord says that he who eats Him shall live by Him (6:51, 57, 58).  Verse 53 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.” By eating and drinking of Christ, we shall be filled with Christ. Then we can properly live for God.

In verse 54 the Lord says, “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.” Here flesh and blood are mentioned separately. When blood is separate from flesh, it indicates death. Hence, here the Lord clearly indicated His death, that is, His being slain. He gave His body and shed His blood for us that we might have eternal life. To eat His flesh is to receive by faith all that He did by giving His body for us, and to drink His blood is to receive by faith all that He has accomplished by shedding His blood for us. This kind of eating of His flesh and drinking of His blood is to receive Him, in His redemption, as life and the life supply by believing in what He did for us on the cross. By comparing this verse with verse 47, we see that to eat the Lord’s flesh and drink His blood is equal to believing in Him, because to believe is to receive.
