And I was uncomfortable when I first read this as a new Christian because I'm like, what's he talking about? We got to eat his flesh and drink his blood? I was reading the verse like literally. And I thought, why would he be making a statement like that? Then I realized that I'm taking the side of the people he's arguing with.
