At The Table... An Interaractive Communion

2000 years ago the bread was on the table...
And Jesus took the bread...
He broke the bread...

And he said "this is my body which is broken for you... do this in remembrance of me."

Paul brings these words into sharp focus when he tells us that we need to recognize the Body of Christ.

Here is some insight into this idea of the Body of Christ... Paul points to each of us and says "For you are the Body of Christ, and members i particular."

Jesus tells us to come to him when we are broken... when we have been kicked, beaten, battered, bruised...

2000 years later, the bread is still on the table... Take and Eat...

Jesus is the Bread of Heaven. Taste and see how sweet is the Lord.

2000 years ago, the cup was on the table...
And Jesus took the cup...
He said "This cup is the new covenant in my blood... Take and Drink.

In the Old Covenant, the blood of a pure, spotless lamb was the atonement for our sins...
In the New Covenant, without the shedding of HIS blood there is no remission for our sins...

He tells us to internalize this fact... let it nourish you... let it sink deep down inside you... to the cellular level.

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins...
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

The cup is still on the table... take and drink.

The message for today is crucial...
The bread and the cup is NOT the Body of Christ... only symbols.

You are the Body of Christ...
Within you lies the ability to:
*** be a blessing to others...
***show mercy to others...
***bring healing to those hurting...
***proclaim liberty to the captives...
***to do justly... to love mercy... to walk humbly with God...

I Bid You Peace...
