“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty again.”
John 6:35, CSB
We are in a spiritual war, and even communion is an act of warfare, declaring the triumphant death and resurrection of Christ our Savior and Lord.
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight” yourselves in rich food.
Isaiah 55:1-2, ESV
We drink of the Holy Spirit, the milk of the Gospel, and wine of the blood of Christ; and we eat the bread of the body of Christ. For full meat, we dig into theology and deep things of Scripture while serving God.
These are things money cannot buy.
a) My clock did not change today, because I live in Arizona. Take that! (This is also a reminder that you are now an hour late if you did not change your clocks last night/this morning)
2) Communion is great. Read the poem:
Sacrament of Love
I’m given bread and take and eat
I’m given wine and take and drink
I’m told to do this in remembrance
I’m told to do this with reverence
I do not understand Your Love
I do not know quite enough
I read Your Word and study
I read Your followers daily
I admit I do not get it
I admit I need Your Spirit
I’m searching more for Your face
I’m searching for You in this place
I study more to know You more
I study more down from the floor
I’m getting more of what I need
I’m getting You while on my knees
You help me know You above
You show me this Sacrament of Love
You’re helping me know the Holy One
You’re showing me Your Only Son
