COMMUNION

And as they were eating, Jesus took BREAD, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “TAKE, EAT; THIS IS MY BODY.” Then He took the CUP, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “DRINK FROM IT, ALL OF YOU. For this is MY BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” – Matt 26:26-28

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the COMMUNION of the body of Christ?” -1 Cor 10:16

During the transition period between the Cross and the Parousia of Christ, the first century church celebrated COMMUNION, which is the LORD’S SUPPER, among themselves to remember Christ’s atonement and resurrection. They did this until His second coming Parousia in 66-70ad. At that time all of the first century born-again believers, who were still alive, were raptured to be with the Lord in the New Jerusalem forever.

“For I (Paul) received from the Lord that which is also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night broke it and said, ‘Take, eat; this is MY BODY WHICH IS BROKEN FOR YOU; do this in REMEBRANCE OF ME.’ In the same Manner He also took the CUP after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD. This do, as often a you drink it, in REMEBRANCE OF ME.'” -1 Cor 11:23-25

Now after His second coming Parousia, we Christians today will also join them in the New Jerusalem when we die in this life on earth. After 70ad, we are living in His fully established New Covenant spiritual kingdom. We continue to celebrate the Lord’s Supper as a remembrance of Him and what He has already accomplished for our salvation.

We live under slightly different rules than those of the first century saints did regarding the LORD’S SUPPER. They had to go through the judgement that was to come at Christ’s Parousia. We do not have to go through that judgment, since it has already been completed. We look back to our Lord’s sacrifice on the Cross for us; and to His resurrection; and to His second coming (past) to consummate our salvation. We celebrate with thankfulness what He has done. We, like them, must not eat the bread or drink the cup in an unworthy manner out of of love and respect for our Lord. – 1 Cor 11:27-28

I want to share a testimony on the body and the blood,

At a time that I was in prayer about a procedure (a medical infusion) I was to receive for a pituitary tumor (found in 2001 this procedure suggested in 2009) as I was at my church preparing the communion table, I heard the LORD speak to my spirit and say, “Take My infusion” and at that very moment I took the bread I had broke and ate it , then I lifted and blessed the cup and drank It.

I’ve never ever received a medical infusion nor radiation, nor surgery as suggested. I don’t even take meds for this mass they call a tumor for God had shown me that it is simply a glowing faith gene! I kid you not, these are my Rhema moments in personal relationship with Christ that are so precious to me! No amount of man’s babble will ever talk me out of What I have with My savior, whom I call out in remembrance of the completeness of the cross and by the very body broken for me and blood shed for me for the forgiveness of my sins, (past, present and future) and for all my healing, spiritual, emotional and physical! THANK YOU ‘ABBA’ NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU!!! ❤

All my come(into)Union LOVE, ❤ Diana xo 🙂
