LIFE IN THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS (BENEFITS OF TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION)

 "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:54 


Let me start by telling you this: make sure you do not miss this holy service today — the Holy Communion service. Many churches are holding this service today. If your church is not having it today, make sure you attend and take part on the day it is held.

Now, today I want you to understand why Jesus told us to eat His body and drink His blood. Also, I want you to know the benefits of taking this Holy Sacrament.

Here are the reasons and benefits:

1. We enter and celebrate the covenant of salvation and eternal life.
When we take this Holy Sacrament, we are agreeing and accepting the covenant that Jesus died and gave His life (His Body and Blood) so we can have eternal life. This is the main reason Jesus came to earth — so that you may have eternal life and on the last day, He will raise you up and take you to heaven.
"John 6:54 — Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
"Luke 22:20 — In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.’" 

2. We eat His body and drink His blood to be united in spirit with Him.
This means we live in Him, and He lives in us. John 6:56 says "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him." 

3. To receive life and healing in our physical bodies.
There are two things I want you to see: eternal life and life in your physical body (your health). When you eat the Body and drink the Blood of Jesus, you receive both — eternal life and life in your body. You become strong, and death and sickness leave your body. You are made alive and well through the power of Christ. John 6:57 says "As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me." 

4. We take this Sacrament because it is a command from our Lord Jesus Christ.
He told us to do this in remembrance of Him. Luke 22:19 says "And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’" When we take this Sacrament, we remember that Jesus died for us on the cross to set us free from all bondage of sin and death.

There are many more benefits, but these are the most important. So make sure you don’t miss this special service of Holy Communion.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, Thank You for giving Your Body and Your Blood so I can be saved from the bondage of sin and death, and have life and eternal life.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
