Eat and Drink

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 talks about how you read, interpret, and share the word of God. It also refers to whether or not we receive the blood of Christ for who He is and walk in His ways. 

When we come together it should be all about Christ Jesus and if someone is hungry (lacking full understanding) they should be reading and studying at home preparing for the next gathering so we can be on one accord in Christ. Every time we read God's word it should be in remembrance of who Christ is, why He came, why He died and rose, and He is coming back. 

Some groups have divided themselves, assuming they are better than others and know more. They make others seem inferior or less than while they puff themselves up and leave the fullness of Christ out. If I don't take in His word and accept the full assignment of what Christ came to do I am denying the power of God the Father. By presenting Christ Jesus as just a man I will be guilty of sinning against the word and sacrifice of the Lord.

 We all need to ask ourselves, what do I expect when I read the Bible, the word of God? Do I fully accept the assignment of Christ for who he is? 

When or if you read 1st Corinthians 11:17-34 you may think of the first Sunday of the month and the ceremony called communion. However, it is not about crackers and grape juice. Communion means – the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level [Google]. As you read 1st Corinthians 11:17 - 34 substitute the words; cup for assignment, blood for sacrifice, eat for take in, drink for accept, and body/bread for word. I pray it gives you clarity, godly understanding, and deep revelation in the name of Christ Jesus.

Who do you say I am.

Christ Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith, Hebrews 12:2. He was there in the beginning and he will be there in the end. God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, 1Corinthians 1:27. That is those who think they know everything and they've got it all figured out. God does things that naturally do not make sense. Just when I think I know something he reminds me his ways are not my ways nor his thoughts my thoughts, Isaiah 55:8-9. My mind cannot even reach the level God is on. 

In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. He spoke and his word brought things into existence, Genesis 1:1-27. Then he said let us make man in our own image (this is where it became intimate and personal because he created man with his hands). In everything else, God's word did the creating and completed the work. God sent his word and created everything we see today. 

God said He watches over his word to perform it, Jeremiah 1:12. He even sent His word to show up on His behalf. Genesis 15 says the word of the Lord came. Read numbers 15:31 and Psalms 119:105. Hebrews 4:12 says God's word is alive and powerful. 

In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the word was God, John 1:1. So who is the word? Read down to John 1:10-14. John goes on to say; 
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Again I ask who is the word? Who do you say I AM, Matthew 16:15-16?

Believe and rest

When we believe in something other people know this by our actions. For example if I have a favorite football team and I have faith to believe they are the best you will know by my conversation. If I can, I will attend the game or all, wear a shirt, or display a bumper sticker. When my team is not popular or the favorite of my friends and family that won't matter if I truly believe they are the best and worth my time money and support. Faith without works is dead James 2:26. What if I never watch a game, or talk about the team? What if I don't know the names of the players or their stats am I really interested in them? Maybe I have no clue as to who the coach or owner is or when and who they play next. Do I really have faith in them? It would seem I just like to say that's my favorite team. This is how I liken my belief in God the father, Christ Jesus the son and Holy spirit the comforter. There is nothing I can do physically on my own to earn my place in the kingdom of God. However, when I believe God's word, I will seek his face, study his ways, follow the example of Christ, and try to get as close to him as possible. My faith is in what I believe and what I believe will be evident in my life and how I treat and respond to people and life situations. Read James 2:18. I labor to believe and allow Christ to work in me and through me. He that began a good work in me is faithful to complete it. Read Philippians 1:6. My belief is where I find the Sabbath resting place. The place where I cease from trying to keep myself pure before God. When I stop and believe that Christ has taken my sins and he sits with God praying for me that's where that Sabbath place of rest lies. It is in whatever day I choose to believe. Read Hebrews 4:9-11.
