21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
John 6:60-69
This is difficult teaching...a hard saying.
The Disciples are referring to to the scandalous "Feed (Gnaw is perhaps a better translation) on me"
The image offends
Some can't get beyond that.
The group following Jesus starts with joy...he is a prophet!
Thrilled with the bread multiplying
then, they grumble
then some reject and leave
Belief in John = to trust and rely upon
Joh uses the word ABIDE to express this kind of reliance.
ABIDE
it is a long-haul task
