August 15, 2021 John 6:51-58 The Bread of Life Discourse, part two

This week we discuss the second part of Jesus’ “Bread of Life” discourse. His speaking about eating his flesh and drinking his blood in connection with faith seems to constitute a Johannine version of the words of institution for the Lord’s Supper. We also discuss the “Eucharistic Controversy” in the Reformation era, and finally ask, “What difference does it make” how we view the Lord’s Supper.
