Faith as Sustenance
John 6:52-59
What does Jesus mean when he says, “Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink”?
Faith as Obedience
Ephesians 4:17—5:2
In the writings of Paul, Faith is often presented as a willingness to live according to the character of Christ. Though deepening faith may only imperfectly reflect his beauty, it remains a witness to the living Christ. Faith is saying yes to the greater reality of God, allowing ourselves to be shaped by his love.
One Faith
Ephesians 4
Paul’s teachings on the Body of Christ is a rejection of individualism, that is self-sufficiency or self-importance. Neither Christ nor the body of Christ exists to serve our own ambition or pride. But it requires deep trust to live selflessly for the benefit of Christ and his body. It is a real value in the kingdom of God. “The last will be first, and the first last.” The “least shall be the greatest.” As John the Baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
