And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, " Take; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, " This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. - Mark 14:22-24 (ESV)
Jesus knew His time has come for Him to redeem mankind. He knew He would die for the sins and transgressions of men. And He knew the disciples and all those who had believed Him would be lost, like sheeps without their shepherd for their providence. The providence is healing for the physical body. The providence is peace for the heart. The providence is wisdom for the mind. The providence is wealth for the poor. The providence is anything that one need from Jesus. I think that was one of the reason why Jesus instituted the new Passover Feast - Holy Communion.
Jesus told His disciples to partake of the Holy Communion as often as they wanted in remembrance of Him. For the bread represents the body of Christ that was burnt, striped and pierced on our behalf. And the drink represent His shed blood for our righteousness. When one partake of the Holy Communion, one is partaking of the completeness of Jesus' work at the cross. One is feasting on His body and His finished work at the cross!
The night before the great exodus from Egypt, the Lord told the children of Israel to eat of the roasted lamp, every part of it. The Lord also told then that the sacrificial lamp be killed at the threshold of the door and to sprinkle the blood of the sacrificial lamp on the lintel and two doorposts. This is the picture of what Jesus will go through at the cross some one thousand and five hundred years later.
Before the Passover Feast, the Lord told the children of Israel to ask Egyptians for jewelry and the Egyptians gladly gave to them for they were probably fearful of the children of Israel because of their God by then. When the angel of death combed the land of Egypt, the lives of those who had sprinkled the blood of the lamp were spared while the firstborn of the Egyptians were killed.
The very next day, there between two and three millions of the children of Israel leaving Egypt. There were none feeble and sick. On top of that, they were all very wealthy because of the gold and silver that were given to them. What a wonderful picture of those who partake of the Holy Communion! There shall be none sick and feeble when one partake of the Holy Communion and one shall be made rich when one partake of the Holy Communion.
The more one partake of the Holy Communion in remembrance of Jesus' finished work at the cross, the healthier one can be and also the riches of one's wealth shall be increased. One is also wiser by regularly partaking of the Holy Communion. Hallelujah for the wonderful work at the cross!
