(KJV.) ST. MATTHEW 26:27
(27) And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying; Drink ye all of it.
THE HOLY SACRAMENT!
Grace be unto you! It is an imperative aspect that a believer partakes of the Holy Sacrament, for, it is a symbolic grace of Jesus Christ's redemption unto humanity; therefore, he said, "do this in remembrance of me." cf. Luke 22:19: remember that there is no one righteous, no not one, cf. Matthew 19:17; therefore, whenever we partake of the Holy Sacrament, we indulge ourselves in the redemption that he provided, our transgressions are done away with over and over again, as we continue to dwell under the blood umbrella of protection, enjoy free grace, salvation, the hope of everlasting life.
In a nutshell, Jesus Christ, on the night before his betrayal, sat at the Passover dinner table with his disciples; took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, said unto them; "Take, eat; this is my body:" cf. Matthew 26:26; therefore, as often as we eat the bread offered at the Holy Sacrament, read his words, we partake of his body and are bonded together with him by the Holy Spirit, which dwells within our hearts, and we dwell in him as well; consequently, he took the cup of wine, gave thanks, offered it to them, said; Drink ye all of it. cf. 26:27; he commanded them to make sure that each and everyone drank off the contents of the cup; why is it necessary for the disciples to partake of this cup? because though he had not yet been crucified to shed his blood for the redemption of sins, he knew his fate, that he will have to suffer, crucified, buried, and resurrect, but with his suffering blood, there will be remission of sins. cf. 26:28; therefore, as we part take of his Sacraments, let us forget not the reasons behind what we practice, cherish, give thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for redemption, salvation, free grace. and everlasting life.
Beloved, throughout the ministration of Jesus Christ, he prayed to God, for every endeavor; if the Son of God acknowledged him as the source of his strength to do his will; my friend, let's also do likewise, pray for his assistance in everything we do, cf. Ephesians 316; never allow a day go by without a prayer, or give the enemy the chance to pester us; prayer is the key to victory over the enemy, child of God, pray without ceasing. cf. Thes. 5:17! Continue to Love one another! Jesus is coming back again, repent ye, and believe the gospel! My Peace and Love be unto you! Amen and Amen!
