A Good Meal And A Glass of Wine! hmmmm!

When was the last time you had a good meal and wine that brought healing to your body? There is a great story about a supper that made that possible.

Breaking bread and drinking wine brings healing to our bodies!

What will you do if you are laying in your death bed and you want to give your last advise to your loved ones? What will you tell them? Please read with me the scripture below from 1 Corinthians 11:20 -31:

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 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: 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. 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. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 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. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

God want us to be healthy. And he made sure the provision for our healing was paid for by Christ on the cross. In a symbolical image of our fellowship with him, Christ had a supper the night before he was betrayed. In that evening, Christ wanted to share with his disciples a great message, since his life on earth was about to end. He gave them a glimpse of life in Christ. If we live conscious of him, of his life, death and resurrection, His life will be transplanted in us. We will no longer live, but Christ in us. And with the many sicknesses and diseases today, we need to be more conscious of Christ and the healing that is through his broken body. There are many scriptrues that speak of our healing:

By his stripes we were healed. Isaiah 53:5

How do we partake in a worthy manner? The Corinthians, per the passage above, were partaking in the Lord's supper in an unworthy manner: they got drunk with the wine; they don't wait on each other; and they seem to take large portions to get filled. However, to partake in a worthy manner simply means to do this in remembrance of Jesus; we acknowledge that His body was broken for us; for our healing; and acknowledge that His blood was shed for our sins. When we are conscious and aware of that, we are partaking in a worthy manner. It all boils down to knowing who we are in Christ. Jesus' death and resurrection changes the dynamics of our relationship with God. The old man that is created after the first Adam is dead. That man was broken in the body of Christ. He died. His blood was shed for our sins, past present and future. When Christ was dead and was burried, the whole of humanity didn't owe anything to the Law. Christ's sacrifice was sufficient to cover all of our iniquities and sins. He represented the human race that was created in the image of the first Adam. So by his wounds, and crucifixion, he paid the ransom, and we were set free. But God has something greater in mind. When Christ rose from the dead, He rose as a new man. He didn't rise as Christ the Jew. Because Christ the Jew was a man under the law. And that man's body was broken and offered as a sacrificed. When we believe, we become born of God unto this New Creation.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Cor 5:17

When we believe in Christ, we become one with God and partake in the trinity. We

become partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4)

And we are made one with the Lord:

1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Let us break bread and drink wine today with that in mind. If you are personally sick, or a loved one, read this scripture together and acknowledge Christs' sacrifice; his body and blood that was shed for us. And receive his healing power.
