A Lamb for a House II - Eat His Flesh and Drink His Blood

A Lamb for a House II

Many Christians want to know how to live right, or how to have a greater relationship with Jesus Christ.  If I could tell any Christians what they should do, I would tell them to go in, close the door and eat the Lamb.  This picture was painted in Israel.  On the first Passover Israel was commanded to slay a Lamb, put the blood of the Lamb on the door post and eat it all, save nothing until the morning.  They were to burn any remainder.  All the Lamb had to be consumed and Israel would come out of the door in the light of the New Day.

 

This picture should be a reality in Christ.  We enter the DOOR, who is Christ.  “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”  We come out of this DOOR in the Light of the New Day.  We come out in the reality of Christ.  This is the picture painted in Israel.  A people coming out of the Door, leaving their old things behind, and pressing toward the prize, which was Canaan land for them.  The prize we press toward is the fullness of God in Christ, our Canaan land.

 

Jesus says in John’s Gospel unless you eat His flesh and drink His Blood you have no life in you.  He later says that the words He is speaking, are Spirit and Life.  Much like the Israelites, we have to eat the fullness of the Lamb.  We go through the Door and inside the Door we eat the Lamb, until we see the Light of the New Day.  I believe this is said another way in the Book of Corinthians.

 

In Corinthians 11, Paul makes a statement referring back to the Last Passover Jesus ate with His Disciples.  Here Jesus told his disciples He was giving His Body and Blood for the New Covenant.  He told them the cup of Blessing they bless is New Covenant in His Blood.  Paul says we are to eat this bread and drink this cup and show the Lord’s death until He come. 

 

1Corinthians 11:23-26  “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 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. 25 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. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.” 

 

Does this mean we are to take communion, eat bread and drink wine or grape juice until the Lord literally comes?  I do not believe this is what is being said.  We eat His flesh and drink His Blood until He comes forth in us.  We actually do this over and over again in the views of Christ given by the Holy Spirit.  We eat the word until the Lord appears.  He appears where He is at.  He is in the Church who is His Body.

 

This is what Jesus meant in John 6:54 “Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”  We eat His flesh and drink His blood and He raises us up.  We come from the reality of Adam, the old man, TO the reality of Christ.  This is the resurrection, being raised up into the Newness of Life.  Jesus said to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the Life.”  We are made alive with Him, raised with Him and seated with Him, Paul writes to the Ephesians.  The LIGHT of the eternal Day of God is how we see this.  We see this Day the Lord has made through the Light, who is Christ.  We walk in the Light as He is in the Light.

 

Men and women have walked in the Light of this Day since the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  “This is the Day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.”  We walk in the Day of His Salvation.  The Day that He is the Light of.  Glory to God!
