POWER OF COMMUNION

GOOD FRIDAY
April 22, 2011
I Corinthians 10: 15-17(NIV)
I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the Blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the Body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one Body, for we all partake of the one loaf.

This set of verses are written to "sensible people", people who are able to understand what is said, because it makes sense. The cup of thanksgiving holds the Blood of Christ who is the atonement - at one -ment with GOD. When we drink from this cup, we are entering into the life of Christ, which is in His Blood. When we eat the Bread, we are acknowledging the Body of Christ, which was broken for us. He was broken in pieces; we break in pieces the one loaf. He was united to GOD; we are united to GOD and to one another, as we eat the piece of the one loaf.

Communion has 4 parts: Thanksgiving for all things; the Body of Christ for healing and unity; the Blood of Christ which overcomes all that oppose the LORD and protects from all that would kill, steal or destroy; and we remember that He is coming again for His Bride, the Church of all believers in JESUS.

The sword pierced the side of JESUS, and out of his side flowed a river of Blood and water. First the Blood, which sanctifies us, then the water which baptizes us into Christ. Let us remember that out of the side of Adam, Eve was formed; out the side of JESUS, the Church, the Bride of Christ was created. JESUS is coming again for His Bride and there will be a great marriage, the uniting of the Bride and JESUS.

Let us never forget that we are one in the Spirit and one in the LORD JESUS Christ.
