What does it mean to eat the flesh of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Eating the flesh of Christ signifies faith and intimate union with Him in the life of believers.

To eat the flesh of Christ is to engage in an act of faith that signifies deep communion with Him. In John 6, Jesus speaks of this metaphorically, emphasizing that partaking of His flesh and blood is essential for eternal life. This act goes beyond physical consumption; it reflects a believer's reliance on Christ for spiritual sustenance. The metaphor implies that just as physical food nourishes the body, faith in Christ, accepting His sacrifice and trusting in His work, sustains the believer’s spiritual life. It emphasizes an inseparable union between Christ and His people, where believers are said to abide in Him and He in them, leading to transformation and eternal life.
