I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. – John 6:53(NLT)
COMMUNION BRINGS ETERNAL LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you been reading and following the word of God?
Do you have your eyes fixed on the Father up above?
Do you partake of his flesh and blood regularly?
Are you intimate with him and hunger for him only?
Communion with Jesus brings you eternal life
Why wouldn’t you want to be in his glory light?
As much as you can, seek and obey him daily
It will lead you to a life that will last eternally.

Communion is defined as “sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level.” I was taught that holy communion was a sacrament when I was growing up. We were made to line up so we can receive the host by opening our mouth and say “Amen.” I believed this doctrine for over five decades of my life without really understanding the depth of communion.
The bible tells us that unless we eat the flesh of the Son (which is the truth which comes from the word of God) and drink his blood (which is the death he experienced in order to serve others by dying to our desires), we will not have eternal life.
PRAYER
Lord, let me be united to you all the time.
REFLECTION
How can we better commune with God in our life?
