What does it mean to eat Christ's flesh and drink His blood?

Answered in 3 sources

To eat Christ's flesh and drink His blood refers to the believer's continual faith in Him, consuming His life-giving presence.

Christ's statement, found in John 6:53, 'Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you,' emphasizes the necessity of coming to Him for spiritual sustenance. This metaphor illustrates that faith in Christ is essential for spiritual life. Eating and drinking metaphorically represent a deep, abiding trust in Jesus and an ongoing relationship with Him. As believers partake of Christ by faith, they receive the benefits of His sacrifice and are spiritually nourished, leading to eternal life. Thus, such communion with Christ is vital for living a vibrant Christian life.
