[Carpe Cerevisi]

The flesh is NO HELP AT ALL.

Then I guess his sacrificing his flesh on the cross was no help at all either.

[metmom]

The flesh is for healing. By His stripes we are healed.

The blood is for the atonement. The life is in the blood.

But in context, Jesus is talking about eating His flesh and that is metaphorical. THAT’s where He says the flesh is no help at all.

It’s the SPIRIT which gives life, not the physical eating.
