Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall by no means hunger, and he who believes into Me shall by no means ever thirst. John 6:35
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would eat the Lord’s flesh and drink the Lord’s blood by believing into Him and receiving Him as their enjoyment that He may enter into them as the Spirit and that they may be united with Him (John 6:35, 40, 54-56, 63; Hymns, #233, ss. 1-3).
What was accomplished through the Lord’s flesh and blood is now our portion. When we believe in Him and receive Him, He enters into us through the Holy Spirit. When this happens, He is in us and in union with us, and we are in Him and in union with Him. Thus, to eat the Lord’s flesh and drink the Lord’s blood is to receive the Lord Himself as our enjoyment, our life within, and our food. This is to eat the Lord’s flesh and drink the Lord’s blood.
The greatest principle in eating and drinking is receiving, and the principle in receiving is union. Whatever we eat and whatever we drink will enter into us. Moreover, we are united with what we eat and drink. No matter how much we meditate on a person, he cannot come into us. Hence, bread breaking is not to meditate on the Lord but to eat the Lord’s body and drink His blood. In baptism we enter into Christ and are united with Christ, and in bread breaking we eat and drink the Lord Himself and are thus united and mingled with Him. Every time we break the bread, more of the Lord comes into us. Every time we remember the Lord, we have a deeper union with the Lord. This is to remember the Lord.
