*Scripture Commentaries.*
It is good Friday today.
It is the day after the Passover meal that laid the foundation of the Holy Communion, 1 Cor 11: 23-34.
Yesterday, Holy Thursday, in biblical history, Jesus broke and shared His flesh and blood in the Passover meal.
Today, Good Friday, Jesus gave Himself up in both flesh and blood to cleanse us of the guilt of the corruptible human flesh and blood.
Our flesh and blood can not inherit the Kingdom of God, but Christ's flesh and blood can redeem us unto eternal life.
While the life of all flesh is in the blood and no man is allowed to take it, Lev 17:13-14, the life of human Jesus was in His blood yet we partake in His life and death by eating and drinking His blood.
We eat the body that was broken for our sins and the blood that was shed for our redemption.
He gives his body and blood according to his promise as long as we partake in Holy Communion, 1 Cor 11. By this, we have communion with the body and blood of our Lord and receive the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation.
There is nothing the blood of Jesus can not do.
We can not live forever in this body of flesh and blood, but we can live now and eternally when we eat Jesus's flesh and are redeemed by His blood
John 6: 57 *As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.*
The flesh and blood of Jesus become the only trustable and reliable source of human life both here and eternally, Rev 12:11.
Why do you not ask God to help you overcome your flesh and blood?
Eat Jesus's flesh and drink His blood. They will purify your fesh and blood.
*Remorse corner.*
Resist your flesh and blood to give way to the flesh and blood of Jesus.
*Call to Word action.*
John 6: 54-56
*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.*
*The Christian clarion duty.*
John 6:53 *Then Jesus said unto them, 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.*
*Prayer.*
Lord, let Your flesh and blood prevail for me, in Jesus name.
Good morning all, and have a blessed day today.
God bless you.
