Essential Teachers notes:
This passage of teaching seems to go totally over the heads of those who were listening to Jesus and it’s not a big jump that kids concrete thinking could risk us doing the same thing. Kids struggle with transference, the ability to transfer a quality of one thing to another, developmentally they aren’t there, but they can cope well with symbolism. The people in this story seem to confuse the two. Jesus stops their clumsy understanding and goes back to the basic symbol before starting them down the right transference path. If you can take some time to talk about sharing the bread and wine in church services that would help to solidify the symbol in their heads. If you’re kids ages are already in double digits they can probably run with the transference and you can start to draw lines on how Jesus could be ‘like’ bread.
