HOLY COMMUNION
John 6:5-11; 26-51
One of the mysteries of our kingdom is the communion. At the communion table, we partake not just bread and wine but the flesh and blood of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. His flesh and blood; in reality, it is his flesh we eat and his blood we drink. By divine mystery, the items are translated routinely into the original as in the first supper of the Lord. As we partake, we imbibe the very nature of the life of the Son of God- and as you eat, you will be made in a new order after Him who has created you for His plan and purpose. His word is in our hearts.
The process of the Word of God must kindle in us a separation from the world. It must bring death to everything except the life of the Word of Christ in our hearts. The Word of God is to give you light. The Spirit of the Lord and the Word of the Lord are unique: one is light, the other is life. We must see that God wants us to have these two divine properties, life and Light, so that we are in a perfect place to judge ourselves by the word. The more you look at the Word, the more you receive grace to conform to His Image.
At His own judgment, God will sift the believer. He will separate the wheat from the chaff. Get away from the chaff. Chaff is judgment; chaff is unbelief; chaff is fear; chaff is failing. It is the covering of the weak, and as long as it covers the weak, it hinders them from coming for bread. So God has to deal with the chaff; He has to remove it so that you might be the pure bread, the pure life, the pure word, and so that there will be no strange thing in you, no misunderstanding.
You need the Bread to feed the life to you. The Word of God is the Bread. There is no famine going on now; God is giving us the Bread of Life. “He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst” (John 6:35). It is a constant satisfaction, an inward joyful expression, a place of peace.
MEDITATION: The Word of God will be the same whether people believe it or not.
