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.
