Eating is a central part of our lives. We eat for energy. We eat to grow, We eat to stay healthy.
Nutritionists sometimes use the slogan "You are What You Eat" to help us to make good choices about our diets. They want us to stop and think before we put something in our mouths. They want us to recognize that what we eat can have repercussions on our health, on how we can live our lives. They recognize that what we eat plays a big role in who we are.
Jesus talks about this as well. "The one who feeds on me will live because of me," Jesus says.
This Sunday, we'll spend some time talking about what Jesus means by this, how repulsive it was for the people of his time to hear these words, and what these words mean for us today.
