In John 16:25 Jesus says (in the translation I have at hand): “I’ve been using figures of speech with you. The time is coming when I will no longer speak in such analogies…” I believe in the Real Presence, so I want it to only apply to when he says he is going away earlier in John chapter sixteen, but I can’t help asking, does this include John 6:54-56 as well? This question is deeply troubling to me.
Thanks and Happy Easter everyone!
In Christ,

No. Here’s the verse in the NAB:
“I have told you this in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but I will tell you clearly about the Father.”

The reference is about how He discusses God, not everything He has ever said.
