6:27 What is "that meat which endureth unto everlasting life" Jesus talks of here?
That meat which endureth unto everlasting life is the spiritual nourishment that is only obtainable from God through Jesus Christ.
When Jesus told His followers not to expend their efforts on food that perished, but rather on food that would eternally sustain them, He was simply teaching them that food for the body alone is insufficient.
There must also be food for the soul. Food for the soul is the word of God (CP De 8:1-3; Josh 1:8; Psa 1:1-3; 119:9; 1Pe 2:2). Jesus quoted De 8:3 when the Devil tempted Him in the wilderness (CP Mt 4:1-4).
