Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. John 6:56 As a former Scoutmaster, one responsibility was teaching scouts how to tie knots. This meant teaching a scout a knot, then having him tie it. If he didn't get it, I showed him how again. If he still didn’t get it, I showed him again. Teach, reteach, and reteach again. That's the principle in this passage. Jesus teaches he is manna, the "true bread of life". Just as manna gave life in the wilderness, so Jesus gives life. Jesus then teaches he is the bread from heaven. Now he says abide in me. "Abide," from the Greek word “meno”, meaning "to continue, to dwell, or to endure." Jesus is saying, stick with it guys. Learn that discipleship is a long process, a long road. Stick with my teachings and you'll understand them. The disciples get it. They stick with Jesus because they see that his words are life giving. They show us what it means that God will provide manna...
