Luke 22: 19,20
And He took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of Me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you.
The third on-going practice is the Breaking of Bread.
The first on-going practice of truth is the Doctrine of Truth from Holy Scripture. The second practice is Fellowship in the Gospel. The third is the Breaking of Bread.
Jesus loved His time of supper with His friends. There are many stories about JESUS in the Gospel record which center around a meal. JESUS even prepared breakfast for His Disciples after the resurrection. The fellowship around the table was very precious to JESUS. Why was this so? Because it gave him time to commune with His friends, and a time to teach the lessons of the Kingdom. The Breaking of Bread is a sign of Love and a symbol of an even deeper relationship after His death.
Holy Communion is that time for all of us to sit down with JESUS and receive from Him the Spiritual food that nourishes us for our life. His Body, given for us; His Blood shed for us is the powerful food of new and unending life in Him. When we partake of Him, He unites Himself with us in a very deep union. We are strengthened by Him in the inner man. Healing flows from Him in Holy Communion; wisdom flows; revelation blooms and we are transformed in mysterious ways.
COME TO THE TABLE OF MERCY, PREPARED WITH THE WINE AND THE BREAD; COME ALL WHO ARE HUNGRY AND THIRST, COME AND YOUR SOUL WILL BE FED.
