Fine Young Cannibals John 6:51-58 More talk about bread? Do you ever notice that sometimes our weekly Bible verses seem to hop, skip and jump all around the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and sometimes they all follow one right after another? This is our third week in the 6 th chapter of John and our third week talking about bread. And this week we get gross, bloody, and gruesome! How fun is that? Oh, yeah. This week’s scripture should come on Halloween, because this is the scripture where Jesus tells us to eat his body and drink his blood. Some people think that means Jesus was really creepy! Okay, it might not seem so strange to us, since many of us have grown up in the church and we have heard of communion. We know that Jesus wasn’t talking about zombies, monsters, or scary movies. We know He was talking about things of the spirit. He was talking about things that make our faith in him stronger and our relationships with God better. Right? So, if you have communion on a Sunday morning, and you eat the bread and drink the wine/grape juice, do you think about Jesus’s body and blood? Do you think about the hard life he lived and the things he taught us? Do you remember that he was crucified on a cross and that three days later Mary found him standing in the garden, very much alive? There are so many things to remember. It’s kind of weird for some people to hear Jesus’s words about his body and blood. Some people think about cannibals and eating people. They get a little grossed out. But, we know the rest of the story and it’s pretty cool. For a full coloring page, click here. Single use permission granted in homes and churches © 2012 Tamalyn L.
