Jesus the living Bread from heaven. ( Click here for more details. )

Jesus Christ, the living Bread from heaven.

John  6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.  6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.  6:48 I am that bread of life.  6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.  6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.  6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Beloved Brethren, how else are you going to be grateful or show your gratitude to our gracious Father in heaven and our blessed merciful Redeemer?

Listen to the following, concerning God the Father and then Jesus Christ our Lord .

The Father.

Romans  5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans  8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

1 John  4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

God the Father willingly gave His only begotten Son for you to have everlasting life and live eternally with Him.

John  3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Jesus Christ our Lord in turn willingly surrender to the painful shameful gruesome excruciating death for you to have eternal life and experience life eternal for all eternity.

Romans  5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

John  10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.  10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.  10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.  10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Isaiah  53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.  53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.  53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Hebrews  2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

It is through this sufferings that His flesh was given to us as bread to eat 

Listen to the following:

Matthew  26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Mark  14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

Luke  22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians  11:23 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:  11:24 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.  11:25 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.  11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.  

Beloved Brethren the reason why the church of Christ globally is broken into two categories. The glorious church on one side, very very few .

The graceless church on the other side, very very many and in their multitude, going down to damnation.

The reason for this, is because they do not remember or are thoughtful about the painful, shameful gruesome excruciating death of Christ on the cross.  Listen to this again.

Hebrews  2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

The essence of instituting and partaking in the Lord’s supper regularly, is to make you remember always, the painful shameful gruesome excruciating death of Christ on the cross of Calvary for your redemption.  Listen to this again.

Luke  22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians  11:23 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:  11:24 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.  11:25 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.  11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.  

The Lord’s supper is one of the twenty two doctrines of the Bible.

God’s Word teaches:

That the Lord’s supper was instituted by Jesus Christ so that all believers (all members of the family of God) might partake thereof regularly, to “shew the Lord’s death until He come.” The emblems used are “unleavened bread” and the juice of “fruit of the vine.” Anyone who eats and drinks unworthily brings “damnation,” punishment and chastisement upon himself 

The few members of the glorious church walk on the narrow road, that leads to heaven and are always thoughtful of the death of Christ and they don’t want their Lord’s death to be on vain for them .

These are the revelations of the lifestyle of the glorious church.

They walk on the narrow road.

Matthew  7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

They are biblically sanctified.

Ephesians  5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,  5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

On the other hand the graceless church walked on the broad road that leads to damnation and are not thoughtful of the death of Christ.

These are the revelations of the lifestyle of the graceless church .

They walk on the broad road.

Matthew  7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

They are religious and churchy but are not biblically saved and sanctified.

2 Timothy  3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Beloved Brethren, it is mandatory that you must be eating the Lord’s supper here , before you will be able to partake in the marriage supper in eternity.

However for this to happen, you must be eating the Lord’s supper in a biblical way 

1 Corinthians  11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.  11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.  11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.  11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

There are two things that happened when you eat the Lord’s supper unworthily.  1. Such a person can be inflicted with sicknesses and could even die.


1 Corinthians 
11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.  11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

2. The person will not be qualified to partake in the imminent rapture or live eternally with God 

To eat the Lord’s supper rightly, you must as a matter of compulsion, be Biblically saved and sanctified and must be walking in daily holiness lifestyle with God.

Let me ask you, are you eating the Lord’s supper regularly in your church?

Are you eating it rightly according to the Bible.

Eating it rightly will guarantee your readiness for the imminent rapture and partaking in the marriage supper in eternity.

In deed Jesus Christ our Lord is the bread from heaven for you to it and experience eternal life here and life eternal in eternity.

John  6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.  6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.  6:48 I am that bread of life.  6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.  6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.  6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

The good Lord shall help you to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
