“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

Beloved, holy communion is one of the greatest symbols in a believer’s life. It represents the greatest sacrifice known to mankind. It’s a sign that shows forth the death of our Lord Jesus; it points us not only to the slain Lamb of God but also to the risen King of Kings. A good father would let his children know the important things before he dies; the same way the symbol of the communion was given to us on the eve of Jesus’ death.

After Jesus resurrected, the disciples taught their new converts to have communion and they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in breaking of bread and in prayers (Acts 2:42). The disciples must have taught them the power behind the symbol of breaking of bread; because they had communion daily from house to house (Acts 2:46).

We’ve been told that, the communion table is not for every believer- that believers who have sin in their lives aren’t qualified to partake. 1 Corinthians 11:29 is usually cited; “for he that eats or drinks unworthily, drinks and eats damnation to himself”. The word “unworthily” is usually defined as not being worthy or qualified because of sin or any wrong doing. This is not true.

The word “unworthily” is “anaxios” in Greek and it means irreverently – treating it as a common meal, not apprehending the solemn symbolic import. So beloved, don’t let anyone rob you of the joy, peace and strength that comes from the communion.

Prayer: Thank You Lord for the ultimate price You paid for me on the cross. I stand on Your finished work by grace today, in Jesus Name.

Holy Communion is NOT a symbol...

It IS the body and blood of Christ.

Do you doubt when Christ takes bread...and says: "this is my body?" Or when he takes wine...and says: "this is my blood?"

He beloved, it's a matter of sematics. Jesus took the bread and it was just bread, but after giving thanks that symbol of bread turned into His body after the thanks. But people have also taken it to the extreme which is not correct. The main person the supper should point you to is Jesus and His finished work. So it's a matter of sematics. Thanks

Now you are confusing me, Did Jesus take bread as the symbol of his body or he took the symbol of bread?

God bless you. However, allow me to say one little but important thing.

The supper doesnt just point to Jesus.

Jesus is the supper!
