a) Jesus said to them,
b) "I am telling you the Truth:
c) "If you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man
d) "And drink His Blood,

'A Difficult Situation.'
Psalm 40:12.
a) For evils have encompassed me beyond number;
b) My iniquities have overtaken me,
c) So that I am not able to see;
d) They are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
e) My heart fails me.
(This Second One reveals to me that the Psalmist faced A Difficult Situation)
PRAYER: For Strength to Pray when We face A Difficult Situation.

The only way that we can experience Eternal Life is through and by Faith in Jesus Christ and in what He has done for us. Jesus Himself clearly teaches this. By Faith we Believe the Gospel, then we remind ourselves of the Gospel each time that we take Holy Communion. The Bread reminding us of the Body of Jesus broken for us and the Wine reminding us of the Blood of Jesus shed for us.
Through the Holy Communion we realize the very Precious Sacrifice that God made for us in sending us His Only Son to live and die upon this Earth. Those True Believers who reject the Holy Communion are actually rejecting Grace. The Biblical exhortation is to examine ourselves (putting right what is wrong if necessary) and then partaking of the Holy Communion.
We frequently need to be reminded of all that the Lord has done for us, when I was a young Believer, there were three things that the Church did nearly every Sunday, yes, EVERY Sunday. 1-Have a Holy Communion Worship. 2-Go outside and Preach the Gospel at a suitable open place in public. 3-Have an early evening Gospel Worship Service. It was a very lovely program. Between 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 Sandwiches, tea and coffee, and sometimes soup, were served for those people who stayed all day - and anyone else who wanted.
Through various concepts, environmental situations and cultural pressures many Churches seem to have lost their meaning or lost their way. (Reminder - The Church is not the Building, it is not the Pastor alone, it is all the people who attend.)
