Why would Jesus give us His flesh to eat?

Jesus desires to be with us in intimate, personal, simple and humble ways (any Christian who reads the Bible, regardless of their denomination would have to agree with that).

What could possibly be simpler than bread and wine?

What could possibly be a greater example of God's humility, than to make Himself present, known and available through such means?

What could ever be a more personal exchange between God and man?

Now, bearing all of these questions in mind, re-read these verses from St. John's Gospel:

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, 'How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?'

Jesus said to them, 'Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.'" - John 6:51-57
