Jesus did many things while He was in this world. One time, Jesus fed 5,000 people with bread in the wilderness. After eating the bread, the disciples passed over to Capernaum from Tiberias. When they went to Tiberias, it was the disciples who got on the boat and went there first. Then Jesus was walking on the sea at night, and then He went on the boat to Capernaum.
The multitude saw that Jesus had not left with the disciples, and they looked for Him, but could not find him in Tiberias. Then they saw that Jesus had come to Capernaum. The people asked, "Sir, when did you get here?" Jesus replied, "You seek for me because you have eaten the bread, and you were filled."
They all ate the bread freely. However, Jesus not only wanted to give them bread but He wanted to give Himself to them. He said, "Those who eat my body and drink my blood shall live forever." The blood of Jesus is the true drink and the body of Jesus is the true bread.
What does it means that Jesus wants to give His body and blood for us to eat and drink? When we eat food, we can live through the strength of the food. When you eat bread, not only are you full but if you eat the body of Jesus, drink the blood of Jesus, it means that we can live through the strength of Jesus. Jesus shed His blood for us so we can drink it. What that means is that you drink the blood of Jesus when the fact that the blood of Jesus has forgiven your sins settles in your heart. Eating the body of Jesus means that it is no longer you alive but the life of Jesus is being lived through you.
When God made us man, He made the heart. Everyone, when we accept the heart of God inside of our own heart, when the heart of God enters us, and when it begins to lead us, then we live like Jesus. However, man has sinned. Man was deceived by Satan and ate from the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. The fruit of the knowledge of good and evil gave us the wisdom to differentiate good and evil. Therefore, instead of living by the heart of God, people lived by the wisdom of knowing good and evil. We were deceived by Satan want to walk the path opposite of God.
Therefore, Jesus gave us bread so we can live and eat in full. Jesus wants us to live by eating Him which means believing in Him.
