Question 3 – Smart (United Kingdom): Dear Pastor, thank you for this great opportunity to ask questions. Please, can you throw more light on taking Holy Communion? What are the benefits and why must we do it repetitively? God bless you sir.
Answer 3: Well, Jesus said to do it. He said “do this in remembrance of me” [1 Corinthians 11:24]. But then, let me read to you from 1 Corinthians chapter 11 from verse 23; now Paul gives us this and says, “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: And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 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.” [as oft as ye drink it]. Then it says in the 26th verse, “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come, [1 Corinthians 11:23-26]” which means we are supposed to do it continually. He says “as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup.” So, it’s not something you do once; he told us to continually do it. So, every so often, we are expected to do it. Then he says, “ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” It is a confession of His death, and you know what his death gives us. He died for us to live; he died to leave us a will. The Bible says a will is of no power until the death of the one who made it, and he made that will and rose again to see to it that no one cheated us out of God’s best [Hebrews 9:16-17] and that’s wonderful. So we are supposed to do it; Jesus said to do it. Now you can get a lot more detail on that from our tape or DVD titled “For This Cause.” I dealt in great detail on that subject - on the Holy Communion. I’ll like for you to place your order for it. You’ll get so much and learn so much about it.
