Everlasting Spiritual Food

Jesus, as one born but not born from the Earth but born from heaven by the overshadowing of Mary so she would give birth, is so profound a person in history that the coming of Jesus and blood shed by Jesus provides food for our souls as we consider that He came like this. More than the thought of Him being nourishing truth, the very coming of Jesus as divine Word made flesh and blood is a unique provision from God. Yet we need to actually digest this special spiritual food God provides us with and only God can enable us to do that and He doesn't enable everyone, but to those who God enables to receive Jesus' coming in the flesh God provides a unique blessing which is eternal supply of life which continues beyond death until beyond the resurrection and forever. The food for thought a person can be enabled by God to receive includes the fact God did all this for them so that Jesus can hold them and never let them go for all eternity. We are born into this world and at some point we each find out there is a spirit who is the 'God' and other spirits who constitute inhabitants of 'heaven' in service to this God and find there was an occassion 2000 years ago when this God provided food and drink to us as we come into the world and all our lives if He gives us ability to feed on it and it is the Son of Man from His right hand side. For we who can take this Son of Man as food from God it is as though our entry into the world is like entry into God's party where this free food and drink
of the Son of Man's fleshly life on earth is provided to those guests to whom God gives ability to eat this free food. There is no other free food and drink now to eat except this Son of Man's coming and life and death in the flesh. This is all God provides for spiritual nourishment and it is free but only certain guests are given power to eat it and drink it. (A meditation on John 6.)
