kingdom.

stand in His might,
and the devil will flee from us, just as he fled from Jesus (James 4:7).

hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus
said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am

bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the
world is My flesh.” The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can
this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say

no life in you. Whoever feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life,
and I will raise him up on the last day. ...

Jesus and trust Him alone,
we do partake of His flesh and blood, and dwell in Him and He in us John 14:20,
