Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day (John 6:54).
Why would Jesus ask His disciples to eat His flesh and drink His blood, which would violate Scripture (Leviticus 3:17)?
Jesus’ terse statement moves a portion of His followers to walk away from Him. John writes, “From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more” (John 6:66). Clearly, Jesus isn’t talking about literally eating His flesh and drinking His blood. He Himself says, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). The person who metaphorically eats Jesus’ flesh and drinks His blood is the individual who believes on Him and receives the gift of eternal life (John 6:54).
Employment Point: Believe on Jesus, who offered His body and blood for our salvation, and follow Him for length of days.
