The Hope Of Eternal Life
Text: John 6: 55-59
THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE
It is natural to be concerned about eternal matters and not just life on the earth. Jesus taught wonderful truths about having hope of eternal life!
“‘For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven – not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.’ These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.”
John 6:55-59

永生的盼望
不仅是世上的生命，关注永恒的事物也是自然的。耶稣教导了关于拥有永生盼望的美好真理！
“‘我的肉真是可吃的，我的血真是可喝的。吃我肉、喝我血的人常在我里面，我也常在他里面。永活的父怎样差我来，我又因父活着，照样，吃我肉的人也要因我活着。这就是从天上降下来的粮。吃这粮的人就永远活着，不像你们的祖宗吃过吗哪还是死了。’这些话是耶稣在迦百农会堂里教训人说的。”
