* The Lord's Supper: How do we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink HIS blood?





Jesus says:  Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jn. 6:54)

How do we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink HIS blood?

Jesus is "THE WORD".  Each time we eat the Word and make it a part of our lives on this earth by doing The Word, HE, Jesus lives in us.

This is the communion with God.  This is the way we partake of the Lord's Supper.  We eat The Word, doing The Word.

This causes us to live in Jesus.

John 6  (Jesus says)

33  For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

35  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst.

48  I (The Word) am that bread of life.

51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread (The Word), he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is MY flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

54  Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood (The Word), hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55  For MY flesh is meat indeed, and MY blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, dwelleth in ME, and I in him.

(As we eat "The Word" that is given to us by God by the Holy Spirit, and as we live that Word in our daily lives, we live in HIM, in Jesus, The Word.)

57 As the living Father hath sent ME, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth ME, even he shall live by ME.

John 14:6  (Jesus says)  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

THE Word, given us by the Holy Spirit, is the way to go.  The Word is truth and life.  The Word is Jesus.

John 1

1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.

4 In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men.

Matthew 7  (Jesus says)

21 Not every one that saith unto ME, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of MY Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in THY name? and in THY name have cast out devils? and in THY name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from ME, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of MINE, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of MINE, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
