Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats
me will live because of me.
Jesus is not the enemy of experience. Just the opposite is true.
You may be familiar with the story of a group of theologians at a study conference. During the
opening session, an announcement was made that in Room A there would be a lecture about
heaven. In Room B, it was announced, you could experience heaven itself. So all the theologians
got up quickly and headed to Room A for the lecture on heaven.
That may be the theologians' way of experiencing life, but it is not Jesus' way. Jesus wants us to
experience life in all its fullness.
(John 6:57
NRSV)
The life that Jesus offers us is neither vicarious nor outrageous; it is abundant. When Jesus comes
into our lives, he renews all our senses, all our thoughts, all our emotions. We experience life
differently. Our priorities change. Our self-image changes. The way we see the world changes.
We discover a whole new dimension to life.
God of life, today and always may I experience the fullness of life in Jesus Christ. Amen.
