Flesh and Blood

What is meant when Jesus uses the words ‘flesh’ and ‘blood’? The prologue to the Gospel according to John may help us understand.


Today’s sermon was given by Hugh Williams

Proper 16: John 6:56-69

Hugh was investigating the way Jesus uses ‘flesh’ and ‘blood’ in light of the John’s metaphysical and metaphorical use of ‘Word’ in the prologue.
