Whoever eats My flesh
The phrase "Whoever eats My flesh" is a profound statement that invites believers into a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Greek word for "eats" is "τρώγων" (trōgōn), which implies a continuous action, suggesting that this is not a one-time event but an ongoing, intimate communion with Christ. Historically, this has been understood as a reference to the Eucharist or Communion, where believers partake in the body of Christ symbolically. This act of eating signifies acceptance and internalization of Christ's sacrifice, embodying the spiritual nourishment that sustains believers.

and drinks My blood
The phrase "and drinks My blood" complements the previous statement and emphasizes the necessity of partaking in the life-giving sacrifice of Jesus. The Greek word "πίνων" (pinōn) for "drinks" also indicates a continuous action. In the Jewish context, consuming blood was strictly forbidden (Leviticus 17:10-14), making this statement even more radical. It underscores the new covenant established through Christ's sacrificial death, where His blood symbolizes the cleansing and redemption of humanity. This drinking is a metaphor for accepting the life and atoning work of Jesus, which is essential for spiritual vitality.

has eternal life
The promise "has eternal life" is central to the Christian faith, offering assurance of salvation and a future with God. The Greek word "ἔχει" (echei) for "has" is in the present tense, indicating that eternal life is not just a future promise but a present reality for believers. This life is characterized by a restored relationship with God, beginning now and continuing forever. The concept of eternal life is rooted in the Jewish understanding of life in the age to come, but Jesus expands it to include a present experience of God's kingdom through faith in Him.

and I will raise him up at the last day
The phrase "and I will raise him up at the last day" provides a future hope and assurance of resurrection. The Greek word "ἀναστήσω" (anastēsō) for "raise" conveys the power and authority of Jesus over life and death. This promise is a cornerstone of Christian eschatology, affirming the belief in bodily resurrection and eternal life with God. The "last day" refers to the end times, a concept deeply rooted in Jewish apocalyptic literature, where God will bring history to its culmination. For believers, this is a source of hope and encouragement, knowing that their faith in Christ secures their future resurrection and eternal presence with God.

(54) Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood.--The thought advances from the negative to the positive. The previous verse stated the condition without which they could not have life. This verse declares that they who thus eat and drink possess that life now, and that it is eternal. (Comp. Note on John 6:47.) The thought advances, too, from the "ye" of those immediately addressed to the "whoso," which has no limit but the fulfilment of the condition. The word for "eateth" is a stronger word than that before used, meaning literally the act of dividing the food by the teeth; but this meaning is not to be pressed. It is simply the present tense, which describes the process of eating, and is the same word which is used in John 6:56-58, and in John 13:18. The sense of the word in the only other place in the New Testament where it occurs (Matthew 24:38) confirms this.

And I will raise him up at the last day.--The thought of the eternal life, which is the present possession of the spirit in communion with God, leads on once again to the fuller expansion of that life in the final victory over death. (Comp. John 6:40; John 6:44.) . . .
