“Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”…“This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” I Corinthians 11.24-25

Child of God, the communion is an integral part of the new covenant. It signifies fellowship and there is no greater covenant, than one sealed in blood. This is one of the ordinances Jesus affirmed (I Corinthians 11.23), for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes (1 Corinthians 11.26). Because He died, we have become sons. It’s a sign that reminds us of the covenant God entered into with Himself over us, sealed with Jesus’ blood.

It is a reminder of the finished work, pointing us ”to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel”. (Hebrews 12.24). When Abel’s blood touched the ground, it cried for judgment but Jesus’ spoke of forgiveness and grace(Romans 3.24-25)

We need to take this meal, understanding what it signifies: recognizing with due appreciation that [it is Christ’s] body (I Corinthians 11.29). This is how to take The Body and The Blood “worthily”(with reverence). Beloved, when we partake of the Lord’s table, we partake of His blessings(I Corinthians 10.16), and we also become stronger,healthier and far from death(1 Cor 11.30).

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— our faith (1 John 5.4). As sons, we need to take the Body believing and as often as we do it, we proclaim the Lord’s death: His victory which is our victory over the world, till He comes.

*Take the communion today and as often as you can*.

Prayer: Daddy God, I am grateful. Your body was broken and Your blood was shed for me. I thank You for this gift.
