Jesus celebrating the Passover in the Last Supper, was prescribed long before He was going to eat of it
God in His infinite Wisdom chose the order, by which all have celebrated
To that end, Jesus Body had to be broken for His Blood to be spilt
Every scourge, every fist, every thorn
Brought forth the issue of Blood, His Blood
It is by no accident or whim on the part of the Father, that this is the order of things
So as Jesus turns and gives us the Broken Bread of Affliction, now the Bread of Life
We begin the connection that forever links the Broken Body and Blood of Jesus
They are inseparable, when you speak of one you also speak of the other
It is the case for all Communion
If we speak of the Bread of Affliction, then we also Remember it has become the Bread of Life
If we Remember what was Broken then we also Remember what was “fixed” (given)
Jesus handed the Bread of Life to me, and you, and the disciples
Saying (as He heard the Father say)
Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
His Body Broken as it took the punishment for my sin, which is the curse, death, hell, grave, separation from the Father (affliction, haste, sickness, lack, etc…)
Jesus took my name and therefore, took my punishment
The Great Exchange
This is what the Broken Body says
We died with Christ, we are Risen in Christ
He, as a part of the New Covenant, took my name as surely as if we had been married, because in His and the Fathers eyes We WERE
Jesus took my name, my punishment, and gave me His Name, His Victory, His Reward, His Right Standing with the Father
Jesus isn’t JUST handing a piece of baked wheat
He is handing me Himself, completely, without reservation or demand
He gave
Shine On!!! Laurie
