John 6:54

54 he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

John 6:54 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:54

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood
Spiritually by faith, as explained in the preceding verse:

hath eternal life;
the principle of spiritual life, which is evidently implanted in him, as appears from his eating and drinking; and is a durable and lasting principle: grace is an incorruptible seed; every part of it is abiding and permanent; and it is itself the beginning, pledge, and earnest of everlasting life, and is inseparably connected with it: moreover, such have eternal life itself, not only in Christ their head, but in themselves: they have a right unto it, and a meetness for it: and may be assured of it, as if they were personally possessed of it, from their election to it; the security of it in Christ; from the grace they have received, which is the beginning of glory; and the earnest of it in themselves:

and I will raise him up at the last day;
to enjoy it in soul and body; (See Gill on John 6:39), (See Gill on John 6:40).

John 6:54 In-Context

52 The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?'
53 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;
54 he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;
55 for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;
56 he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.
