The Cup And The Bread ‘.’
1 Corinthians 10:16-17.
a) The Communion cup is a Cup of Blessing.
b) When we take it we share in the Blood of Christ.
c) When we break the Bread we are sharing in the Body of Christ.
d) There is one loaf – we are one Body.
e) We are many individuals yet all of us share one Bread.
f) Christ Himself said that when we take Holy Communion we do it in remembrance of what He has done for us specifically at the Cross.
(This QT teaches me about The Cup And The Bread and shows its relevance for the Church, the Body of Christ)

‘It Is Call Up Time.’
Psalm 110:3.
a) The Lord’s People will volunteer when He calls up His Army.
b) The Lord’s Young People (young adults and youth) will come to Him in Holy splendour.
c) The Lord’s People will be like dew in the early morning. (Dew is fresh and clean)
(Through this Second one I know that there is a Holy stirring: It Is Call Up Time)

When we partake of Holy Communion we are many individuals yet all of us share one Bread. We sometimes miss this thought when we all take individual wafers at the communion service rather than a literal loaf being broken. I do not oppose the use of individual wafers but they do tend to encourage the thought “me and Christ” rather than the thought “Christ, the Church and I” which is what Christ intended when He instigated this memorial ceremony. In taking the Wine and the Bread the Bible not only encourages us to think about our relationship with Christ but also with each other in the Body of Christ.
