“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?”
1 Corinthians 10:16 KJV
Paul is explaining the vital importance of partaking of communion with the right attitude. “For when we pray for the blessing of the communion cup, isn’t this our co-participation with the Blood of Jesus? And the Bread that we distribute, isn’t this the Bread of our co-participation with the body of Christ?” It is the presence of the Blood of Jesus by faith, that makes this communion of the highest value. It is the presence of the Body of Christ as the Living Bread that brings this communion with our God to be the ultimate. Jesus said, “For my Body is real food for your spirit and my Blood is real drink. The one who eats My Body and drinks My Blood lives in Me and I live in him.” Let’s examine our attitude when we partake of this new covenant with Christ. Amen!
