“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).
If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?
Read Matthew 26:26-29: “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. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom” (cf. Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:19,20).
Paul affirms in 1 Corinthians 11:23-25: “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: 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. 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.” The Holy Spirit names this “the Lord’s Supper” (1 Corinthians 11:20) or “the Lord’s Table” (1 Corinthians 10:21).
Observe the two parts here—bread (eating) and cup (drinking). Also, this meal is twice connected to the injunction, “Do in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11:24,25; cf. Luke 22:19). In other words, it is a memorial supper, something to bring to mind or commemorate Jesus Christ’s sacrifice of Himself on Calvary’s cross—His body broken and His blood shed, which crosswork applies to both believing Israel and us the Body of Christ. What sets this meal apart from the “sacred banquets” of heathenism is that the sound Bible doctrine underlying the Lord’s Supper/Table is more excellent than the false teaching supporting the pagan religions’ “holy meals.”
By paying attention to these simple concepts, we are slowly but surely separating truth from error….
