The other thing about the actual words of the Lord Jesus Christ: they say "as" - 'I with the Father', "so" -- 'you with Me'. The two things are put as equivalents. One informs the other. As Jesus eats the Father, so should we eat Jesus. As Jesus obeys the Father, so should we obey Jesus. Not a word about pray-reading.
Jesus said, "My food is to do the will of the Father." Therefore, our food should be to do the will of Jesus.
Jesus taught, "Even as I do the Father's will and live, so will you live if you do my will." See John 15:10; 14:19.
See John 6:57 "Even as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me."
It says this multiple times in John: "Even as I with the Father, so also you with me." Nothing about pray-reading, either by Jesus or by us. So yes, we should 'eat Jesus', just exactly the way that Jesus told us to - by obeying His will, just as he obeyed the Father's will. No more and certainly no less.
