It is important that we who believe in Jesus Christ and who have REPENTED, who have been
baptized into Him , that we participate in His Body, that we have COMMUNION, with each
other and with Jesus Christ. I read the words of Jesus as written in John
6:53 Jesus therefor said to them, “Truly, truly,
I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have
no life in yourselves. “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life,
and I will raise him up on the last day. “For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true
drink. “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. “As
the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he shall
also live because of Me. “This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the
fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.”
The apostle Paul also led the believers in participating in the Lord's Supper. I read
his words from 1 Corinthians 11:23 "For I received from the Lord that which I
also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took
bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is
for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after
supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim
the Lord’s death until He comes." And that is what we are doing right here,
we are having the Lord's Supper. Let us pray: Heavenly Father, we thank Thee Lord for this
wonderful privilege that we have to be in Christ. We thank Thee Lord Jesus that we can
participate in this meal, this supper, in remembrance of Thee, in remembrance of Calvary,
in remembrance of the price that was paid for our salvation and also in the resurrection
through which we have wonderful promises, we have the expectation of the inheritance
of eternal life if we endure with Thee until the very end.
We thank Thee Lord that we can be ONE with Thee, that we can be UNITED with Thee in this
table by participating of Thy Body and drinking of Thy blood. We thank Thee Lord Jesus for
this table. We thank Thee for the bread and we thank Thee for the fruit of the vine, Thy
blood, that was shed for us. We thank Thee Father and we pray Thy blessing on us as we
participate in Thy table, we pray in Jesus' Name.
In the night that the Lord Jesus was betrayed He took bread and He broke it (breaking the
bread) and He said:"This is My Body that is broken for you, eat of this as often as you
do, in remembrance of Me. (Sharing and eating the bread)
We thank Thee Lord. We thank Thee Lord Jesus for Thy Body. we thank Thee Lord that we have
LIFE in us, we thank Thee Father. And
after the supper the Lord took the cup also and He said:"This is the new testament in
My blood, participate of this in remembrance of Me as often as you do so."
We thank Thee Lord Jesus, we thank Thee for Thy blood that was shed for us and through
which we have the expectation of the inheritance of Thy kingdom, we thank Thee Lord. (Drinking
the wine/grape juice). Hallelujah Lord Jesus, we thank Thee Lord
for the LIFE that we have in us, we thank Thee Lord for this table. We thank Thee Lord
for Thy Body that was broken for us and that we can remember Thy suffering, Thy resurrection
and that we can be united with Thee in this table and in our relationship, our communion
with Thee. We thank Thee Father. We bless Thee, we give Thee all the glory, we thank
Thee in Jesus' precious Name. Amen.
