John 6:53-56
"Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."
I can understand it is a metaphor, but I can't get over the fact that it is gruesome and repulsive. He's using cannibalism as a way to represent his message. Doesn't this bother you? Can you explain the metaphorical meaning behind the passage?
