On my earlier prayer meeting, we were happened to have a holy communion. And i was given a new revelation on what it might means.
To be honest, as long as i'm being a Christian, i had never truly understood on what communion actually means. I grew up as a Catholic and i had a communion every week.
As what i've been told, i will never be able to have a communion until i passed the some kind of communion course and made legal by the priest. However, i never understood why i need this. to eat bread and drink the wine. of course, i am fully-concerned that it's to memorize the death of Christ. That is to say, when He gave up His whole life to ransom us. Other than that, i never truly understand what is the other thing behind all of this ritual.
Some people cried when they eat the bread, of course i believe it's because they remember on how good Christ was to gave up His life upon the cross. And i never say that it was wrong. It is enough to touch my heart, of course. However, i'm eager to know more. i believe that there must be something else behind this scene. And i'm so thankful to what the Spirit of God had unveiled to me.
Let us all check in Matthew 26:26-28
26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying,
"take this and eat it, for this is my body".
27 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, "each of you drink from it
28 For this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.
Now, Check on Matthew 26, Take this and eat it, for this is my body.
Don't you know that there are a very big secret revealed by this sentence? That is we are a body of Christ. As we ate His flesh, we are now become one with Him. I used to think, eat the bread as this is my body. Oh my God..i don't wanna be that mean, eating the flesh of My Lord as it is a Chicken meat or something.(i'm not joking, i really used to think like so). But i know, i was just so stupid, there must be something different about this. But Eventually, i know what it means He gave it to us, to say, well, listen my dearest Children, when you eat this, I'll live in you, reign over you. remember me every time you eat this. So as I am in you and you are in Me, Do not do something that don't please me. Do not commit sins, for i gave My Body for the ransom of your sins!
Secondly, check on Matthew 27,
"each of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people."
Now, don't you know that Jesus came to make new covenant? to open a way to heaven as He is the covenant Himself. He came from heaven above to this earth just for this reason.
He said " I'm the way, the truth and the life. No one will ever go to Father except through Me".
well, when you drink the wine. Remember, it is the blood of Jesus, that mighty Blood which was shed for you and for me. If you have drank that, you know that you'll never feel thirst anymore because Jesus's blood is inside you right now.
Let me help you think about this
When your parents made you, it was a collaboration of genes. yeah? The blood type will either came from Dad, mom or mix between the two. But to make sure, you are their true children, one of the way is to check your blood type, right? well, it's just the same thing if you think about it. When you drink the blood of Jesus Christ which is the wine, it is a covenant that His blood is inside You to mark that you are His children. to give you a free entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven.
So, when you have the communion, remember, it is not just eating bread and drinking the wine's ritual but there are so many meanings behind it. You are the man under the covenant. You are not belong to the world although you are in the world.
Be blessed today :)
Love You all..
