Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat, this is my body -Matt. 26:26.
On the night Jesus was betrayed He took bread and blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and told them to take and eat it for this is His body which is broken for all. Then He took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to the disciples and told them to drink all of it for this is His blood of the new covenant which is shed for the remission of the sins of everyone.
On that night The Lord's Supper was instituted with the promise that whenever we, Jews and Gentile alike partake we do show the Lord's death until He returns. It was the end of annual commemoration and celebration of the passover where only Jews and sojourners with the Jews could partake.
Our Jesus it was believed by the Jewish Nation had come to Rescue Israel from the Roman rule and restore the nation to dominance. However the deliverance went much farther than the Nation of Israel. It was the whole world including Israel that He came to deliver not just from Roman rule but from the clutches of Satan and the bondage and penalty of sin.
Jesus, the deliverer of the whole world has instituted a way we can stay connected to Him, remain alive in Him and grow in Him -The Lord's Supper.
Prayer: Lord let us keep on taking Your communion so we will remain in You. Amen.
Encouragement: Stay connected to God, eat of His flesh and drink of His blood of the new covenant knowing as often as you do this you do show His death until He returns and you're taking life.
