This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Whoso eateth ... hath, etc. - The former verse said that unless they partook of Him they had no life; this adds, that whoever does so “hath eternal life.”
and I will raise him up at the last day - For the fourth time this is repeated (see Joh 6:39, Joh 6:40, Joh 6:44) - showing most clearly that the “eternal life” which such a man “hath” cannot be the same with the future resurrection life from which it is carefully distinguished each time, but a life communicated here below immediately on believing (Joh 3:36; Joh 5:24, Joh 5:25); and giving to the resurrection of the body as that which consummates the redemption of the entire man, a prominence which in the current theology, it is to be feared, it has seldom had. (See Rom 8:23; 1Co 15:1-58, throughout).
