John 6:51 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 6:51

Jesus announces the cross before it happens. The bread He will give is His body — broken, given, poured out. This is the heart of the gospel in one sentence.

Memory phrase: I give Myself for the life of the world.

Talk about it: If someone gave up their life so that others could live, what would you call that person?

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for giving Yourself completely. I receive You today.
