What did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the Bread of Life” (John 6:35)?

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the Bread of Life”? What is the meaning of bread of life in John 6:35?

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me” (John 6:53–57). The Gospel goes on to say that “many of his disciples who were listening said, ‘This saying is hard; who can accept it?’ . . . As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, ‘Do you also want to leave?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life’” (John 6:60, 66–68). If Jesus did not mean his words about eating his flesh and drinking his blood to be taken literally, but only symbolically, he surely would have corrected and enlightened those early protesters so that they did not continue in their literalism. But he didn’t. And he repeated and reinforced it at the Last Supper.

“Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Jn 6:55 "my flesh is true food indeed". What does indeed mean? It means what it says it means. You need to take Jesus at His Word.

Jesus said man cannot live by bread alone but by spirit of God that dwell in them, to make them alive

Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God ... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes. — Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2–7:1 St.Ignatius of Antioch

Kind of funny that all the disciples left him after he said that, and yet Jesus didn’t say “hey, it’s only a metaphor!” The apostles were confused as well, but stayed. No one there thought he was speaking figuratively. Not one. Join the church Jesus created through Saint Peter, or rely on your own understanding.

John 6 talks about The Incarnation and The Holy Eucharist✝️✝️✝️

Is it wrong to have mass with my husband in Morning

[itsa-itsagames]

its kinda shocking that you have to explain to people that he talks a lot in metaphors and very poetic / spiritual language and that when he talks about the eating of bread in remembrance of him, we're not REALLY eating Jesus

Who knows what he meant. Maybe people were hungry and they wanted some lunch.
