Bible

Revelation 3:20 NKJV
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”

Bread and wine, it’s not the appetizer, it’s the meal.
(All sufficient – He satisfies our hungry, which is deeper than our cravings)

We need to receive all of Jesus, as he really is.

John 6:66-67 NKJV
“From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?””

The crowds (and his followers) that were there for the miracles left when He said he was the meal.

They were more than willing to receive the food he multiplied, just not him, as he really is.

John 5:39-40 NKJV
“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.”

(Mtt. 26:27 KJV) “Drink ye all of it”
Exodus 12:8-13 (eat all the lamb that night)

Jesus isn’t customizable, you don’t get to sub the bun for lettuce, or hold the onions. You don’t get to ask for water instead of wine.
