Jesus Himself , is the only answer to our ills, Jesus is Pure Life and He loves with such an intense love, that He humbly offers His own Flesh and Blood so that we will have Life to the full.

" Without Me you can do nothing "

" He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood abides in Me, and I in Him "

Jesus builds a home in us and abides in us when we receive His Body and Blood.

" It is no longer I that live , but Christ who lives in me "

" Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood , you shall have no life in you. "

The Joy of receiving " The Bread of Life " , I can not tell you .

Jesus is such Love that it almost tears the fabric of the soul, so I ask you as my brothers and sisters , do not go hungry , but eat and drink .

CHAP. XXXIII.

From this it is evident that we have already met the next statement of Celsus, which is as follows: "We must either not live, and indeed not come into this life at all, or we must do so on condition that we give thanks and first-fruits and prayers to demons, who have been set over the things of this world: and that we must do as long as we live, that they may prove good and kind." We must surely live, and we must live according to the word of God, as far as we are enabled to do so. And we are thus enabled to live, when, "whether we eat or drink, we do all to the glory of God;" and we are not to refuse to enjoy those things which have been created for our use, but must receive them with thanksgiving to the Creator. And it is under these conditions, and not such as have been imagined by Celsus, that we have been brought into life by God; and we are not placed under demons, but we are under the government of the Most High God, through Him who hath brought us to God--Jesus Christ. It is not according to the law of God that any demon has had a share in worldly affairs, but it was by their own lawlessness that they perhaps sought out for themselves places destitute of the knowledge of God and of the divine life, or places where there are many enemies of God. Perhaps also, as being fit to rule over and punish them, they have been set by the Word, who governs all things, to rule over those who subjected themselves to evil and not to God. For this reason, then, let Celsus, as one who knows not God, give thank-offerings to demons. But we give thanks to the Creator of all, and, along with thanksgiving and prayer for the blessings we have received, we also eat the bread presented to us; and this bread becomes by prayer a sacred body, which sanctifies those who sincerely partake of it.

This is Origens context and has nothing to do with the Lords Supper

Catholics eat Jesus Flesh and drink His Blood , this not something a Protestant or fundamentalist can say.

To receive Jesus Himself is the Gospel message, the Gospel tells us to receive Jesus , but it also tells us that " His own received Him not ".

How can a man say he has received the Gospel , and then refuse to eat Jesus the " Bread of Life ", the new mana from heaven ?

" He who eats Me , will live because of Me "

" The Bread that I will give is My Flesh for the Life of the world "

" My Flesh is true food and My Blood is true drink "

" He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood , abides in Me and I in Him "

" How can this man give us his flesh to eat ?"

" Are you offended by this ? "

If a man does not recognize the Lord at the breaking of the Bread , then he has not recognized the" Bread of Life", thus he will not partake of it.

" Unless you eat My Flesh and drink My Blood , you will have no life in you "

" This bread we break , is it not a partaking in the Body of Christ ? "

" This is My Body "

" I am the Bread of Life

You must eat Jesus Flesh and drink his Blood , to have life in you, Jesus says this clearly.

You must eat the " Bread of Life " to have Life.
