Question: What should you say when taking communion?
Answer: What the Scriptures teach and we'll go into what you can say a bit later in the article.
Matthew 26: 26-28 26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
We see that the Lord Jesus says that the cup provides his blood of the New Covenant.
Here's some insight that you can use when taking communion.
It is said that we are 70 to 80% water, and a lot of that water is in the blood. So there are nutrients, or supply within the blood.
The Bible indeed declares that the life of the body is in the blood. So what Christ is declaring here is that this wine (blood) will supply your life because of the sacrifice that He has paid.
As a result of the blood that was shed, we now have life within Him because the blood was was shed for the remission of sins, and since the wages of sin is death and through the remission of sins once for all through the blood, we have life.
There's no sin that is being held against us. And so the blood of The Lord Jesus is very powerful, because it houses for us in the communion, the understanding that Christ's sacrifice is what leads us to a place of unity and reconciliation with God, for Isaiah declares that your sin has separated you from God, but now Christ, in making that sacrifice and shedding that blood now reconciles us to God.
Now, there's no separation because the blood has been shed and the Lamb has paid the price.
In Remembrance of Him
When we drink the cup during the communion, it symbolizes the blood of Jesus that was shed for the remission of sins. His death on the cross was the once for all payment for our sins. So when we eat the bread and drink the wine, we do it in remembrance of Him.
