Jesus Christ and Holy Communion
People continually practice the ritual of communion believing that it will fend off the continued struggle against our sinful nature which is an ongoing, never ending battle. Many Christians regard communion as a cure-all for the accumulation of their sins in their day to day lives. But consider what happened at the very first communion performed by Jesus Christ.
The apostle Judas Iscariot was present at the very first communion, was possessed by Satan, dipped his bread into the wine at the very same time as Jesus Christ, and yet this act did not change anything about Judas. Judas was still possessed by Satan after taking communion with Jesus Christ - meaning that the act of communion did not drive Satan out of the body of Judas! Therefore the bread (host) did not become Jesus Christ as many christian religions believe! If the bread actually became Jesus Christ then there would be two Jesus Christ's present at that first communion – an impossibility!
It is clear that Jesus Christ in allowing Judas, who was possessed by Satan, to take communion with him that Jesus Christ – God become man – was showing that communion wasn't an act that could produce any kind of holiness, that would come later by the indwelling Holy Spirit!
Again, communion does not produce any kind of holiness!
Many Christians affix a ritualistic obedience to communion as a spiritual catharsis to purge their lives of the desire, and consequences, of sin. If this were the case then Satan would have fled the body of Judas right after Judas took communion with Jesus Christ– which did not happen! Communion is not an act to ward off the evil desires in our sinful heart, or to quiet our own sinful lusts. It is a remembrance of Jesus Christ's work on the cross where he took upon himself all the sins of the world so that anyone who believes in him will have forgiveness of their sins and life eternal with God Jesus Christ, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit.
If you seek the true power of God then just believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and get baptized! When you receive the Holy Spirit into your life the Holy Spirit will help you ward off the evil desires of the flesh which will always be with us until we receive a new sinless body in heaven.
God Bless
note:
Notice that if the bread of communion (host) actually became Jesus Christ then Satan would have been made Holy (sinless) along with Judas. One begins to wonder that once Satan realized that communion didn't change his sinful standing with God that Satan became so enraged that he drove Judas to betray Jesus Christ to exact his revenge.
Also consider that when Jesus Christ and Judas took communion at the same time, and from the same bowl, that Jesus Christ's sinless saliva was instantly shared with Judas. And yet Judas didn't become sinless, nor did sharing Jesus Christ's sinless saliva drive out Satan from Judas! Many people believe that Mary, Jesus Christ's mother, was sinless because she shared Jesus Christ's sinless blood during pregnancy. But here you have Judas sharing Jesus Christ's sinless saliva and yet Judas did not become sinless! Both Mary mother of God and the Apostle Judas did not become sinless just because they shared any of Jesus Christ's bodily fluids.
