THE BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNION THE BODY OF CHRIST BIBLE VERSES STUDY
Welcome to our Christianity Oasis Christian Walk Study forum. This is our extremely intriguing and interesting ... The Body of Christ Communion as well as the Body of Christ Bible study taking an in depth look into the Body of Christ Bible verses meaning. The absolutely awesome and thought provoking Body of Christ Communion and Body of Christ Bible verses message within will enhance your YOU-nique Christian walk.
WHAT IS THE BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNION
Let's
look at John Chapter 6 verses 32-66 and discern together,
what the Lord is sharing with us.
John 6:32-65
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from Heaven;
but my Father giveth you the true Bread from Heaven.
For the Bread of God is He which cometh down from
Heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this
bread. And Jesus said unto them, I AM THE BREAD OF
LIFE: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and
he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I
said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and
believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall
come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no
wise cast out.
For I came down from Heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of Him that sent me. And this is
the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all
which He hath given me I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up again at the last day. And this
is the will of Him that sent me, that every one
which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the
last day.
The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, I
am the bread which came down from Heaven. (So what else is new? They are always seeking ways to prevent the Truth from being exposed.) Back to the Body of Christ Communion Bible study on the Body of Christ Bible verses ... And they
said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
father and mother we know? how is it then that he
saith, I came down from Heaven? Jesus therefore
answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father
which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up
at the last day.
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all
taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard,
and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not
that any man hath seen the Father, save He which is
of God, He hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life. I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and
are dead. This is the Bread which cometh down from
Heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I
am the living Bread which came down from Heaven: if
any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I
will give for the life of the world. The Jews
therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can
this man give us His flesh to eat?
Then Jesus said unto them concerning the The Body of Christ Communion, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,
and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For
my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink
indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As
the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the
Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by
me. (This is the Truth they sought to keep hidden) Let's return to the Body of Christ Bible study on the Body of Christ Bible verses
This is that bread which came down from Heaven: not
as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that
eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These
things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
Capernaum. Many therefore of His disciples, when
they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying;
who can hear it? When Jesus knew in Himself that his
disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, Doth
this offend you? (They did not understand the Spiritual aspect of The Body of Christ Communion)
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up
where He was before? It is the spirit that
quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life. (See? The Body of Christ Bible study is sharing insight into the SPIRITUAL view of the Body of Christ Bible verses) Back to the Body of Christ Communion story ... But, there are some of you that believe not.
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that
believed not, and who should betray Him. And He
said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can
come unto me, except it were given unto him of my
Father. |
Here is the Body of Christ Bible study WARNING on the Body of Christ Bible verses DANGER ... Then something happened that would change the fate of many souls. They chose not to believe and not partake of the Body of Christ Communion.
John 6:66
From that time many of His disciples went back, and
walked no more with Him.
|
Kinda weird huh?
John
666
Why do ya suppose
many of His followers took off?
It is because
they understood Jesus from a carnal point of view as
compared to the Spiritual point of view.
They thought He
meant they were to actually eat His flesh and drink His
blood.
These Words that
Jesus shared came to pass and became a ritual of sorts,
started by Jesus and the Apostles ...
It
is known as the Lord's Supper.
Matthew 26:26-28
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.
And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins. |
And the name of this Christian ritual is now called ... Blood and Body of Christ Communion:
1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the
communion of the blood of Christ?
The bread which we break, is it not the
communion of the body of Christ?
|
Bread and Wine
were used to symbolize His Body and His Blood.
Let us look into this ...
What do you
believe that Jesus means by BREAD?
Matthew 16:6-12
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they
reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have
taken no bread. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto
them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves,
because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand,
neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and
how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the
four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it
that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you
concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how
that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. |
THE BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNION FACTS THE BODY OF CHRIST BIBLE VERSES STUDY STORYSo,
if Jesus said the leaven was the bad within the Pharisee's doctrine ...
Then the bread which the leaven was placed within is the
Doctrine.
The BREAD
being spoken of is the WORD of God.
What is the
Word of God?
John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was
not any thing made that was made. |
Now, we will take the Body of Christ Bible study detour ... Let's
substitute the words "the Word" with "Jesus" and see if it
makes more sense to you.
In the
beginning was Jesus, and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was
God. The same (Jesus) was in the beginning with God. All
things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing
made that was made. |
What is a word?
It is an expression.
The expression of God in physical form.
Jesus is the physical, verbal and written expression of God.
John 1:14
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.
|
JESUS IS THE WORD
OF GOD.
Jesus has made it
clear that we NEED the Word of God as to be able to LIVE.
Matthew 4:3-4
And when the tempter came to Him, he
said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these
stones be made bread. But, He answered and said, It
is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God. |
So, it is obvious from the Body of Christ Bible verses that Jesus
was saying that we should partake of HIM, which is God's
Word ...
THE SPIRITUAL BREAD FROM HEAVEN,
JESUS !!!
Just
as physical Bread satisfies the flesh, the Spiritual Bread
satisfies the SOUL.
Ok ... We now understand the facts from the Body of Christ Bible study how the Bread represents the Body
of Christ.
What about the BLOOD?
Here is TRUTH ...
THE
BLOOD
OF JESUS IS VERY SIGNIFICANT IN OUR LIVES.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the
blood
of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
|
BLOOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR SINS
Leviticus
17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the
blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for
your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul. |
Time for the Body of Christ Communion field trip ... The story goes all
the way back to the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, and a celebration
called Passover.
The Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt for over 400
years and the Lord saw their affliction and heard the cries of His
people, so He sent Moses to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt
Exodus 3:7-10
And the LORD said, I have
surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and
have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know
their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the
hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land
unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and
honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and
the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of
Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I
will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my
people the children of Israel out of Egypt. |
Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, didn’t want to let the
people of Israel go, so God sent plagues upon Egypt, but Pharaoh was
stubborn and wouldn’t heed God’s commandment to free them. The tenth
and last plague that the Lord brought upon Egypt in those days, was
that every firstborn of Egypt, both man and beast, would die.
In order to save His chosen people alive while the
destroyer went through Egypt, the children of Israel were to bring in
an unblemished lamb on the 10th day of the 1st
month of the Jewish calendar and keep this lamb for 4 days. Then on
the 14th day of the first month, the Israelites were to
kill their lamb and place the
blood of the lamb on their
homes so that death (the destroyer) would pass over them.
Later, Moses would sprinkle the people
with blood to bring for the Covenant between God and the
Israelites.
Exodus
24:8
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and
said, Behold the
blood of the covenant,
which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. |
Hear the Body of Christ Bible study tidbit ... (They did not and were not prepared for the visit from their Messiah) To celebrate their freedom, they were told to do
this every year after that AS IT WOULD BE A HOLY DAY ,
and the celebration was called Passover.
THE BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNION GIFT THE BODY OF CHRIST BIBLE VERSES VOWThis event was a shadow of an
event to come ... The death of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Colossians
2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or
in respect of an holy day,
or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days:
Which are a shadow of things to come;
but the body is of Christ. |
SEE THE FEAST SHADOW STUDY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE REFERENCE TO
PASSOVER BEING A SHADOW OF EVENTS TO COME.
BUT BE SURE TO RETURN TO THIS STUDY.
Soon after God’s people were free and journeying
through the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land, the Old
Testament was established with the children of Israel.
The Body of Christ Communion trivia ... What is a testament and how is it established? Well,
just like with a will and testament, it is a covenant that is put into
effect when the testator dies ... or with the shedding of
blood.
The blood
of the old covenant came from sacrifices. The people brought
sacrifices to the priest, and Moses
sprinkled the
blood
of
the sacrifices on the people to cleanse them of their sins. After the
original covenant was made, different sacrifices were made daily,
weekly, monthly and yearly.
By and by, mankind turned away from the laws of God,
so much so, that all the sacrificing in the world wouldn’t cleanse
away the sin, so God sent Jesus, who through the shedding of His
blood,
brought in the New Testament.
We find in the Body of Christ Bible study truth that no more sacrifices are needed, but simply by
believing in Jesus' life, death and resurrection, and that He is the
Son of God, we need only repent and our sins are forgiven.
We are
sprinkled
(cleansed) by the
blood
of Jesus.
THE BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNION PROMISE THE BODY OF CHRIST BIBLE VERSES ON BLOODJust as the SHADOW reflected, the sacrifice of
Jesus’
blood
happened
during the feast of Passover. Jesus, known as the Lamb of God, without
blemish (sin), came into Jerusalem on the 10th day of the 1st
month and was with the people for 4 days. He was killed by the choice
of His own people on the 14th day of the first month, just
as the Jewish people were celebrating the Passover. We are saved by
the
blood of the Lamb.
We have redemption by
the blood of Jesus.
Colossians 1:14
In whom we have redemption
through His blood, even
the forgiveness of sins ... |
At the Last Supper Jesus confirmed this when
He gave the Apostles the cup of wine, (known as the cup of eternal
salvation) and said:
Matthew 26:28
For this is my
blood
of the New Testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins.
|
It is OBVIOUS from Scripture that we are to share this MOST
important message of having communion.
1 Corinthians 11:24-26
And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take,
eat: this is my body, which is broken for you:
this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had
supped, saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as
often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew
the Lord's death till He come. |
THE BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNION SAVES THE BODY OF CHRIST BIBLE VERSES ON JESUSThere has been division within the Body of Christ on the
Communion issue dating way back.
Just as Paul was forced to address this issue ...
1 Corinthians 11:18-22
|For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that
there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there
must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be
made manifest among you. When ye come together therefore into one
place, this is not to eat the Lord's Supper. For in eating every one
taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another
is drunken. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or
despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what
shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
|
The Body of Christ Bible study WARNING ... They were performing the Last Supper ritual incorrectly,
using it as a time to eat dinner and get drunk as compared
to it being:
For as
often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew
the Lord's death till He come.
Paul continues ...
1 Corinthians 11:27-29
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the
Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's
body.
|
DAMNATION?
It is also obvious that we must share this TRUTH as to
protect those of the Body of Christ who participate in the
Communion.
There is no question that many will turn up their noses at
the ideology of Communion.
Partaking of the Blood and Body of Christ
...
By way of a cracker or bread and wine.
Just like they did with Jesus when He spoke of this matter:
John
6:66
From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more
with Him.
|
But, they
understand not that these are merely symbols of the blood and body of
Christ.
GOD HONORS THE INTENT OF THE HEART.
Paul shares this lil tidbit with the Christians (Body of
Christ) of the Lord's Supper.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the
communion of the blood of Christ?
The bread which we break, is it not the
communion of the body of Christ?
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are
all partakers of that one bread. |
In participating in the Lord's
supper, we are declaring that we are in communion with Christ.
It
also symbolizes that those partaking of the Communion are ONE ...
The Body of Christ.
More of the Body of Christ Bible study trivia ... I ask you, is
it the physical act of consecrating of bread and wine that removes your sins, or was
it the act of Jesus dying on the cross, that takes away the sins of
the world, once for all?
I ask you, is
it the physical act of consecrating of bread and wine which unified
the Body of Christ at the Lord's Supper (First Communion) or
was it the gathering together in a common love for the Lord.
THE BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNION CONCLUSION THE BODY OF CHRIST BIBLE VERSES SUMMARYWe have also learned that the Communion is the
perfect occasion to remind us that Jesus died for us and to confess our sins and be forgiven
DAILY.
I will close this study by sharing something with
you that the Apostle Paul said ...
Hebrews 13:20
Now the God of Peace, that brought again from the
dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood of the
everlasting
Covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His
sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

The Body of Christ communion is not only a physical event. The
Body of Christ communion is spiritual as well. The
Body of Christ communion is communing within the Body of
Christ. And literally partaking of the Holy Spirit
