"Love In The Flesh" - 2

Also, in case you did not know this, 'Agape' Love is seen! I hope you understood that by what I have been saying, or if not, at least by what Jesus was saying in John chapter 6. His flesh which He was taking about is the manifestation of God's Love, which is the sign that they asked to see, but did not understand the reason for the sign which was given. The manna given to their fathers in the desert was easy enough to understand, because it was to feed their bodies, and to satisfy the bodies nutritional need. However, Jesus' flesh, that they could not understand, because they could not see their soul's eternal need. The difference between the two is like black and white; however, there is no difference between seeing or knowing the need; one is being feed physically, while the other is to be feed spiritually; one is temporary, while the other is eternal. In other words; we must see God's Love for us, in order to receive God's Love; or, as Jesus was trying to get those following Him to see, that He, being sent from the Father, was in fact the real Bread from heaven, which is for the eternal soul, not for the temporary flesh. Likewise, real love is manifested within us, and is seen by the action it is meant to accomplish. For example, love, whether 'agapao' or 'phileo' are action words, which before they can be put into action, must have a source behind them; in other words, you can not love without Love... "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him. As the Living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me. This is that Bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this Bread shall live for ever." (John 6:55-58)
