Holy Communion is more than a religious rite or tradition. It is a potent tool for receiving God's healing and renewing power into our bodies, minds, and spirits.
We are not just remembering what Jesus did for us on the cross when we partake of the bread and wine. We are actually reaping the benefits of His sacrifice, including sin forgiveness, healing, and wholeness.
The bread represents Jesus' broken body for us, and the wine represents His shed blood for us. We are symbolically eating His body and drinking His blood when we eat bread and drink wine.
Some may find this strange or even repulsive, but it is a beautiful and powerful act of faith. We declare that we believe in Jesus' sacrifice and that we receive all of the benefits of that sacrifice through faith.
According to the Bible, Jesus instituted Communion as a way for His disciples to remember Him and His sacrifice (1 Cor. 11:23-26). "This is my body, which is given for you," he said. Do this in memory of me" (Luke 22:19).
However, the Communion is more than just a remembrance. It is also a means for us to receive His divine nature and His healing and renewing power. "By His stripes we are healed," the Bible says (Isaiah 53:5), and "He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed" (1 Peter 2:24).
When we receive Communion by faith, we are doing more than just remembering Jesus' sacrifice. We are actually receiving His sacrifice's healing and renewing power into our bodies, minds, and spirits.
So, if you are sick, weak, or in need of renewal, I encourage you to partake in the Communion with hope and faith. Believe that Jesus' sacrifice is sufficient to heal and renew you, and accept the benefits of His sacrifice through faith. As you do so, I believe you will encounter the healing and renewing power of the holy Communion in your own life.
