Two minutes on the sometimes mysterious theological concept of the Eucharist. Bottom line, there is great need in the world for Eucharstic worship and understanding the brilliance of transubstantiation. Gotta start somewhere.

Many of Jesus’ disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.” As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven, ” and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how
can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring
among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise
him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God. Everyone who
listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the
one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal
life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread
that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came
down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh
for the life of the world.”

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.” So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.” So they said to him, “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.” So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”

The famous "Bread of Life" discourse of John 6 is perhaps the most explicit teaching of Jesus about the Eucharist. To understand the Eucharist, we must understand the radical claims Jesus makes about himself; namely, that he is God in the flesh.
