“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.”
John 6:53-56 KJV
Many disciples abandon Jesus when he said this to them because they didn’t understand it they took it as earthly and natural word as cannibalism so they left off from following him later those who stick around he offered meaning to what he’s said
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
Matthew 26:26-28 KJV
this is the foundation of the epistles revelations so paul then later expounds and explains the meaning and significance of this for us and the real tangible impact it can have on a persons life
“For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.”
1 Corinthians 11:23-32 KJV
if we were to accept what the scripture says about communion , what then is communions significance ? Is it a ritual ? Is it an ordinance ? Or is it a work of faith that we do because we believe what is taught about communion? We believe the word about communion ?
it seems as if it’s absolutely important and actually can affect lives in many ways. But if we hear about it from scripture and then explain it away or make it into something it’s not , it can’t benefit us as the scripture has concluded but can actually cause serious issues in our lives and lead to damnation and condemnation
Just some scripture to consider regarding what the Bible says communion is and is for. If you have any other scripture that will add to these or offer more understanding either way please feel free to leave those and your thoughts
this is just to consider what the Bible says it isn’t to condemn Or argue to teach or rebuke ect it’s just a great value when we accept what’s really there as it is so we can then Begin to believe it as it is
if we see by faith built on what God says and not look at what he says as if it’s worldly ritual without meaning what he said it’s going to benefit us in many many ways
God bless consider the importance and significance of what the Bible says about the communion with the body and blood of the lord
