WHY DO WE PARTAKE OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS? #1314/ SUNDAY NIGHT BLESSINGS WITH DR. GEORGE WATKINS

WHY DO WE PARTAKE OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS?

 

For those of us who have been longtime members of the community of faith, we understand the terms, the Lord's table, and communion. This practice has continued as long as the church has been functioning since the ascension of Jesus Christ. On the final night Jesus was with his disciples, he ate bread with them and commissioned them to eat his body and drink his blood.

It's no wonder that in the areas where Christianity functions, they called them cannibals, assuming they were drinking blood and eating human flesh.

I have participated in the communion ceremony hundreds of times over my life, yet each time I open up my spirit to this subject, I hear and receive more revelation.

Take some time to read again John six, starting with the 51st verse.

Then add to your reading First Corinthians 11, 23, to the end of the chapter.

I am convinced that if you do, the spirit of revelation will open up some incredible new insight into what Jesus meant when he said, unless you eat of my body and drink my blood, you have no part of me.

The emphasis in John Six that Jesus shares with his disciples is that each time they eat food and drink, they should remember and celebrate what Jesus accomplished through his body and blood. The practice of communion that we have once a month or once a week on a Sunday morning has taken away from the meaning of what Christ meant in that last supper.

He was not telling us to set up a traditional communion service for the church. He told us to remember why he died, who he died for, and what it made us into every time we take a bite of food.

That's how continuous our refreshing of our faith should be. This is not a religious ceremony. Jesus gave us a simple tool to keep our faith sharp and before our eyes and hearts at all times.

Each time you take a bite of food, remember the body of Christ and what it did for you. Each time you take a drink, remember the blood of Christ and how powerful it is to redeem you and bring you to your sonship.

That's what real communion is.
