14th Sunday after Pentecost

“This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” Jesus’ teaching about eating his flesh and drinking his blood isn’t something we can figure out and accept on our own. The good news of Jesus is too radical, unsettling, and illogical for us to accept. In this last week exploring Jesus as our Bread of life, we embrace the surprising gift of the Holy Spirit despite our doubts and confess alongside Peter, “O Jesus, you have the words of eternal life.”

Accompanying Scripture:
Ephesians 6:10-20 Psalm 34:15-22, John 6:56-69
