REDEMPTION DEED – The Greatest Unifying Union

REDEMPTION DEED – The Greatest Unifying Union – The Holy COMMUNION: The Bread and The Wine – ENACTING THE PASSOVER!

“. . . 14 And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST by an ORDINANCE for ever . . .” Exodus 12:1-51.

“. . . 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. 26 For AS OFTEN AS ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, YE DO SHEW THE LORD’S DEATH TILL HE COME . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.

The act of the REDEMPTION DEED of God in Christ Jesus has brought about the greatest unifying union of any kind thereby ENACTING THE PASSOVER. This act is the Holy Communion which embodied – The Bread as the Body of Christ, and The Cup – The Wine, the Blood of Christ being sacrifices for our PASSOVER from death unto life.

And graciously and gracefully, this REDEMPTION DEED act of grace, bares no Adamic nature in order to authentic the legality and vitality of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And as it’s powerful and gracious in the physical, so much the more it is in the spiritual. Hence Jesus at the cross said – IT IS FINISHED – meaning an end to Adamic NATURE and EFFECT by the REDEMPTION DEED. Hence the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has NO PAST. All things has become NEW – 2 Corinthians 5:17.

We can now have our lost RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP with God in Adam reclaimed and restored in the fulness of REDEMPTION. For the Two reasons – RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – we can celebrate and commemorate in the Holy Communion that enacts and authenticates the CRUCIFIXION and DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION, ASCENSION and ENTHRONEMENT of Christ Jesus, who is our Saviour-King & Lord. Amen.

And we celebrate and commemorate Him simply for these:

* OUR SIN FORGIVEN, ACQUITTED AND RECEIVED – means Our RELATIONSHIP with God reclaimed and restored. No more sacrifices of the flesh. For we’ve been JUSTIFIED – Romans 5:1-2.

* OUR ACCESS ASSURED & GUARANTEED – means Our acts of FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) with God reclaimed and restored. No more middle person failing man any more on our behalf – 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Acts 4:12. We’ve been DELIVERED & TRANSLATED – Colossians 1:1-21; Ephesians 1:1-14.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 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:  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.  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.  26 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: 17-34.

“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. 27 And he took the cup, and gave THANKS, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 for this is my blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom” Matthew 26:26-29.
