Hmmm?<br /><br />The word communion; <br />What does it mean in the Bible?<br />Not from a religious standpoint, <br />or a religious tradition,<br />or a religious sacrement, or a religious ritual,<br />but what does the Bible say about communion?<br /><br />And have you ever noticed this, <br />In 1st Cor it says, Jesus said,<br />“this is my body which is broken for you.”<br /><br />But not a bone of His body was broken<br />in order to fulfill prophecy.<br /><br />And when he had given thanks, <br />he brake it, and said, <br />Take, eat: this is my body, <br />which is broken for you: <br />this do in remembrance of me.<br />1Co 11:24 <br /><br />He keepeth all his bones: <br />not one of them is broken.<br />Ps 34:20<br /><br />For these things were done, <br />that the scripture should be fulfilled, <br />A bone of him shall not be broken.<br />John 19:36<br /><br />If not a bone was broken; <br /><br />What did Jesus mean when He said,<br />This is my body which is broken for you?<br /><br /><br />And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: <br />them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; <br />and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. <br />John 10:16 <br /><br />One Fold - One Shepherd - One Voice. <br />If Not Now, When? <br /><br />In His Service.
