Me: I was transported to Your table on that holy night Your church was all around me to my great delight Bread and juice were there, for all who would partake Joy and sorrow shared, for what You were to undertake
Lord: Come and eat My body, come and drink My blood My sacrifice has saved you from death’s whelming flood When My blood’s applied to the door of your heart Death’s angel passes over and then will fast depart
I am the promised Lamb that came to take your place You did not earn it–it’s only by My grace A communion takes place when everyone is there Worthy is My bride because of the sufferings that we share
Debbie Furey January 5, 2022 Matthew 26:26-28 – “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” Romans 8:16-17 – “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
Romans 8:18–39
As I sat down this morning, by myself, ready to take personal communion to remember our Lord’s death, I felt like I was transported in a moment of time back to the night of the Lord’s supper just before His death on the cross. It seemed that I was even sitting at the table with the Lord and His disciples and a knowing came inside of me that whoever was taking communion at this moment in time was also seated with us around the same table. There was a holy hush as we watched the Lord reach for the bread and wine and offer it to us. Be sure you take communion often as a remembrance of what Jesus did for us. In doing so, you will join the communion of saints around the world partaking of His sacrifice.
