tomorrow is Holy Thursday. it is the day biblically where Jesus instituted holy communion. Jesus said, 'My body is going to become the Lamb of God and my blood will wash all your confessed sins away." Jesus allowed us to have a one - on - one relationship with God. Jesus allowed us access to all the promises and blessings that are in the bible because of our faith, trust and obedience to God. i remember when i first moved to DC, for undergrad, the church i attended did not have a regular Sunday for communion. instead of being grumpy, i got a slice of wheat bread and a glass of grape juice, and opened up the bible to Luke 22.17 -20. i confessed my sins and Holy Spirit reminded of sins I overlooked. Jesus washed away my sins spiritually. i felt lightened and enlightened. even though they have communion every Friday at prayer, i still love to pull out the bible, a slice of Ezekiel bread and some grape juice and fellowship with God.
God we thank You that You "took the loaf of bread and when You had given thanks, You broke it and gave it to us, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." and he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." God we thank You for the new covenant that we have with You. God continue to perfect that which concerns me. in Jesus' name, amen
