For the Lord Jesus to say that He is edible indicates that God Himself is edible.

[jidong xiao]

圣经启示耶稣就是神。不仅如此，按照约翰六章，我们知道主耶稣是可吃的。在这一章里，祂清楚说到我们吃祂的事。我们若循着思路从约翰六章回溯到一章，就会看见耶稣是谁。在约翰六章说到吃祂的耶稣，就是在约翰一章中是话的那一位，祂与神同在，祂就是神，并且祂成了肉体。主耶稣说祂是可吃的，就指明神自己是可吃的。所以，我们能放胆宣告：我们的神是可吃的，我们能有分于祂、吃祂并消化祂。当我们吃神并消化祂时，祂就藉着我们主观的说话。

我们可以说，我们所吃并消化的食物替自己说话，不是客观的说，乃是主观的说；那就是我们的脸色，指明我们有没有吃滋养的食物。生命的话作神的彰显，原则也是一样。神圣的生命实际上就是神自己。我们吃神作生命并消化祂的时候，在我们的经历中，这生命就成了话，说明、解释并彰显我们所享受的神。

The Bible reveals that Jesus is the very God. Furthermore, according to John 6, we know that the Lord Jesus is edible. In this chapter He speaks clearly concerning our eating of Him. If we trace the thought backward from chapter six of John to chapter one, we shall see who Jesus is. The Jesus who speaks in John 6 concerning the eating of Him is the One who, in John 1, is the Word who was with God, who was God, and who became flesh. For the Lord Jesus to say that He is edible indicates that God Himself is edible. Therefore, we can boldly declare that our God is edible and that we can partake of Him, eat Him, and digest Him. When we eat God and digest Him, He speaks through us subjectively. 

We may say that the food we eat and digest speaks for itself not objectively but subjectively; that is, our facial color indicates whether we have been eating nourishing food. The principle is the same with the Word of life as God's expression. The divine life is actually God Himself. When we eat God as life and digest Him, in our experience this life becomes the Word to define, explain, and express the very God we enjoy.
