But doing what God requires starts with having faith in him. Scripture says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ ” (That means to go up into heaven and bring Christ down.)
The one who comes from above is above everything. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks like someone from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above everything.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Keep watch over yourselves and all the believers that the Holy Spirit has made you leaders over. Be shepherds of God’s church, which he bought with his own blood.
