John 6:
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world
53 Jesus said, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man & drink his blood, ""ye have no life in you""
54 Whoso eateth my flesh & drinketh my blood, hath eternal life & I will raise him up at the last day
55 For my flesh is meat indeed & my blood is drink indeed
56 He that eateth my flesh & drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me & I in him
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna
1 Cor 10:
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For we being many are 1 bread, & 1 one body: for we are all partakers of that 1 bread
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices (The PRIESTS) partakers of the altar? (Lev 7:6 & 7:15)
In the Temple the showbread was baked & eaten (By the Priests) weekly. (Lev 24:5)
Acts: 20:7 Upon the 1st day of the week, when the disciples came together to "break bread"
Remembrance
1 Cor 11:
24 When Jesus he had given thanks, "he brake the bread, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you" "this do in remembrance of me"
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink it, "in remembrance of me"
26 "For as often as ye eat this bread & drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come"
In the Lord's Supper we "Remember" the past. The covenant that brings us the forgiveness of sins was ratified, or "cut" by the shedding of Jesus sinless blood & the breaking of Jesus sinless body.
"Remembrance" itself is a covenantal word. In the Lord's Supper we "Remember" that our blessings were purchased through a costly price.
Generally when we go to REMEMBER the death of a fallen soldier, a family member or loved one. It's a time when we feel grief & loss.
REMEMBER: JESUS HAS RISEN!
The Remembrance in the Lords Supper. Is a time for CELEBRATION! Through our partaking & remembrance via The Lords Supper/Communion We are envoking the NEW COVENANT.
Faith and partisipation in the Lords spilled blood; Brings: Forgivness, Reconciliation, Redeemption & Etenal Life.
Faith and partisipation in the Lords broken body, Brings: Spiritual and physical health.
1 Cor 11: Jesus said;
24 (B)Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you:"this do in remembrance of me"
25 (B) Jesus took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink it, "in remembrance of me"
26 "For as often as ye eat this bread & drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come"
Proverbs 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For my words are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Ps 105:37 They ate the LAMB & the next day: Although many were old ""NOT 1 WAS FEEBLE AMOUNG THEM"""
So, Every time we partake in the Lord's Supper. We are reaffirming our Faith in Christ's Death, Burial & Resurrection. And this partaking nourishes & sustains, those already born again, until His 2nd coming.
Question: Are you a believer? Are you sickly or feeling ill? Have you been partaking in Communion REGULARLY?
Question 2: If you were hungry & close to starvation, would 1 meal completly restore your health?
The longer its been since you last partook or the sicker you are right now. The more often you should enter into Communion with our Lord!
Put the bread into your hand; close your eyes; picture/see the Lord on the Cross; eat the bread (his body) now praise & thank Him for forgiveness, reconciliation, your spiritual & physical healing! Maranatha
P.S. Rereading John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Truly, truely, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood
"""ye have NO LIFE in you"""
