THE LORD'S SUPPER OR THE HOLY EUCHARIST, IS A SACRAMENT OF GOD. WHAT IS A SACRAMENT? A SACRAMENT IS A RITUAL INSTITUTED OF GOD, AS AN OUTWARD AND VISIBLE SIGN OF AN INWARD, AND SPIRITUAL GRACE. THE QUESTION IS, WHY MUST THE ELECT OF GOD PARTAKE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER OR THE HOLY EUCHARIST? EXCEPT A MAN EAT OF THE FLESH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, SAID THESE WORDS.

Jn:6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

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

Jn:6:55: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

Jn:6:56: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

Jn:6:57: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

Jn:6:58: This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

Jn:6:59: These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

BELOVED OF GOD, GOD IS A TRINITY IN UNITY. THERE IS ONE GODHEAD, AND IN THE GODHEAD THERE ARE THREE DEVINE PERSONS, GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY GHOST. WHEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CREATED MAN, HE MADE MAN A TRINITY IN UNITY. MAN HAS A BODY OF FLESH, AND BLOOD, AND HE HAS A SOUL, AND A SPIRIT. THE BODY CAN DIE, AND THE SOUL LIVE ON, OR THE SOUL CAN DIE, AND THE BODY LIVE ON. WHEN THE SPIRIT LEAVES THE BODY, THE BODY DIES. THE SOUL IS THAT PART OF MAN THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY. THE SOUL OF MAN IN THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE IS REFERED TO AS THE INWARD MAN.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM, HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY. FOR WE WERE ALL IN ADAM AT THE TIME HE TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD. AND WHEN GOD IMPUTED SIN TO ADAM; GOD ALSO IMPUTED SIN TO ALL MANKIND. AND WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM, BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM, WE ALL DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH.

1Cor:15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, WHEN A MAN OF GOD COMES TO PERFORM THE LORD'S SUPPER, HE MUST FIRST OBTAIN UNLEAVENED BREAD. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, GOD COMMAND LEAVEN TO BE KEPT OUT OF THE BREAD DURING THE FEAST OF THE UNLEAVEN BREAD. SO THAT WHEN CHRIST INSTITUTED THE RITE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY LEAVEN IN THE BREAD, THAT BECOMES THE BODY OF CHRIST. IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, YOU MAY NOT BE ACQUAINTED WITH UNLEAVENED BREAD. UNLEAVENED BREAD, IS BREAD THAT HAS BEEN BAKED WITH NOTHING TO MAKE IT RISE, AS YEAST, OR BAKING POWDER. WHEN GOD BROUGHT ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT, HE INSTITUTED THE FEAST OF THE UNLEAVENED BREAD. NOTICE HOW SERIOUS A SIN IT WAS FOR ISRAEL TO EAT LEAVEN BREAD DURING THE FEAST OF UNLEAVEN BREAD.

Ex:12:14: And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

Ex:12:15: Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

MOST CRACKERS, AND BREAD HAVE LEAVEN IN THEM, THEREFORE I SUGGEST THAT YOU EITHER BAKE YOUR OWN UNLEAVENED BREAD, OR BUY IT FROM THE CHRISTIAN BOOK STORES. CHILDREN OF LIGHT, WHEN A MAN OF GOD, WITHIN WHOM THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES, COMES WITH THE INTENT TO PERFORM THE RITUAL OF THE LORD'S SUPPER. AND, RISES HOLY HANDS, AND BLESSES THE UNLEAVENED BREAD, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE, THERE IS A CHANGE COMES OVER THE SPECIES OF THE BREAD, AND FRUIT OF THE VINE. THE UNLEAVENED BREAD BECOMES THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE BECOMES THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. YOU MAY WONDER HOW I KNOW THERE IS A CHANGE COMES OVER THE SPECIES? WE, CHILD OF GOD, HAVE A WITNESSES, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHEN JESUS CHRIST INSTITUTED THE RITUAL OF THE LORD'S SUPPER, HE SAID THESE WORDS.

Mt:26:26: And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Mt:26:27: And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

Mt:26:28: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF MEN THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS THAT DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CHANGE THAT COMES OVER THE SPECIES OF BREAD, AND FRUIT OF THE VINE; THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A CHANGE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SEE, OR TASTE, OR SMELL A CHANGE THEREFORE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CHANGE. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, SAINTS OF GOD, BECAUSE THESE MEN THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANY CHANGE COMES OVER THE SPECIES. THE ATHEIST, THE AGNOSTICS, THE SKEPTICS, AND THE DOUBTERS, DO NOT BELIEVE EITHER. BUT WE, THAT ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH, BELIEVE EVEN THOUGH WE DO NOT SEE A CHANGE. FOR, WE BELIEVE THE TESTIMONY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

WE, SAINTS OF GOD, HAVE ANOTHER WITNESS, THE APOSTLE PAUL. LISTEN AS THE APOSTLE PAUL WITNESSES TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF EATING THE LORD'S SUPPER UNWORTHY. THE APOSTLE PAUL STATES PLAINLY THAT IF A PERSON EATS OF THE LORD'S SUPPER UNWORTHY THAT HE IS GUILTY OF THE BODY, AND BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

1Cor:11:23: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

1Cor:11:24: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1Cor:11:25: After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

1Cor:11:26: For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

1Cor:11:27: Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

1Cor:11:28: But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

1Cor:11:29: For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1Cor:11:30: For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

1Cor:11:31: For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

SINCE IT IS SUCH A SERIOUS SIN TO PARTAKE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER UNWORTHY. THE QUESTION MUST ARISE, HOW CAN A PERSON MAKE SURE THAT HE IS WORTHY TO EAT, AND DRINK, THE LORD'S SUPPER? FIRST OF ALL, A PERSON IS COMMANDED TO EXAMINE HIMSELF, AND SEE IF HE IS STILL IN THE FAITH. WE THE CHILDREN OF GOD BECOME WORTHY TO EAT OF THE LORD'S SUPPER BECAUSE OF OUR FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHEN A PERSON PLACES HIS FAITH, AND TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, FOR HIS SALVATION. AND, PLACES HIS FAITH, AND TRUTH IN THE BLOOD THAT JESUS CHRIST SHED FOR HIS REDEMPTION, THEN GOD THE FATHER ALLOWS, THAT PERSON TO DECLARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHICH IS A PERFECTION RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS PASS.

Rom:3:20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Rom:3:21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Rom:3:22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Rom:3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom:3:24: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Rom:3:25: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Rom:3:26: To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

BELOVED OF GOD, WHY SHOULD MEN THINK IT SO INCREDIBLE FOR A CHANGE TO COME OVER THE SPECIES OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, AND FRUIT OF THE VINE. FOR WHEN MEN BLESS THEIR FOOD, THERE IS A CHANGE COMES OVER THE FOOD. WHEN A MAN BLESSES HIS FOOD, THAT WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY UNCLEAN BECOMES SANCTIFIED. FOR OUR FOOD IS SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD OF GOD, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND PRAYER.

1Tm:4:1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1Tm:4:2: Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

1Tm:4:3: Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1Tm:4:4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

1Tm:4:5: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

1Tm:4:6: If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

WHY SHOULD WE PARTAKE OF BOTH THE UNLEAVEN BREAD, AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE? BECAUSE, EXCEPT A MAN EAT OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD; HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM.

Jn:6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, BELOVED OF GOD, THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD. WHEN THE DOCTORS OF OLD, READ THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE, IT MUST HAVE CAUSED THEM TO THINK ON BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS. FOR GOD STATES PLAINLY THAT THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD.

Lv:17:10: And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

Lv:17:11: For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

BELOVED OF GOD WHY DO WE BLESS THE SPECIES IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST? THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. THE POWER TO CHANGE UNLEAVENED BREAD INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE FRUIT OF THE VINE INTO THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. REMEMBER THIS SAINTS OF GOD, EXCEPT A MAN EAT OF THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AND, DRINK OF HIS BLOOD, HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM.

Jn:6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (KJV)

THE LORD'S SUPPER IS SOME TIMES REFERED TO AS COMMUNION. WHAT DOES THE WORD "COMMUNION "MEAN? HAVING INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP, AND SHARING A COMMON FAITH.

1Cor:10:16: The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

1Cor:10:17: For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

LET ME, CHILDREN OF GOD, RECAP WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING. FIRST OF ALL WE, AS THE ELECT OF GOD, MUST PARTAKE OF THE LORDS SUPPER. FOR IN PARTAKING OF THE LORD'S SUPPER, WE EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. IF A PERSON DOES NOT EAT OF THE FLESH OF THE SON OF GOD, AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM.

Jn:6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (KJV)

THERE IS THE PHYICAL LIFE, AND THE SPIRITUAL LIFE. THERE IS THE OUTWARD MAN OF FLESH, AND BLOOD THAT IS ALIVE. AND THERE IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT IS ALIVE. IT IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY, AND THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

LET ME ASK YOU A SERIOUS QUESTION CHILD OF GOD, HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST SINCE YOU BELIEVED?

Acts:19:1: And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

Acts:19:2: He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Acts:19:3: And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

Acts:19:4: Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

Acts:19:5: When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Acts:19:6: And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Acts:19:7: And all the men were about twelve.
