Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord

This song has been going through my thoughts for days, I finally remembered the first line. I like this song because it speaks of Gods purpose/economy. I love being side by side with the Lord, yet this songs reminds all I have is for the corporate expression. Eating, drinking and breathing Him in.... hallelujah saints.

❤️ Eat the bread and drink the wine, ye saints!
We are one in Him fore’er.
Stand in oneness on the local ground,
Eat and drink in oneness there! ❤️

Praise the Lord! The bread on the Lord’s Table signifies both the body of Christ broken for us to eat and the Lord’s mystical Body constituted with us, the many members of the Body regenerated through the resurrection of Christ (1 Pet. 1:3). Hallelujah! We are one in Him forever😀

THE DECLARATION OF THE BREAKING OF BREAD

1. “As often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you declare the Lord’s death until He comes” (1 Cor. 11:26).

The word declare means “display” in the original Greek. The apostle says that every time we eat the bread and drink the cup, we display the Lord’s death. This means that we display His death for all to see. The bread symbolizes His body, and the cup symbolizes His blood. The cup placed beside the bread indicates that the Lord’s blood is outside of His body because it flowed out of His body and has been separated from His body. A person dies when his blood is separated from his body. Therefore, when we break bread and place the cup beside the bread, it displays the Lord’s death by spreading out His death before the universe for God, the angels, Satan, the demons, and all creation, including us, to see. (This is the reason that the bread and cup should not be covered by a cloth. ) Every time we see the bread and cup, we see a display of the Lord’s death. Although we break the bread in remembrance of the Lord, we also display His death. During the bread-breaking meeting our hearts remember the Lord, our spirits enjoy the Lord, and our eyes should look upon His death.

The Lord’s death is the center of His work of redemption. The Lord’s redemptive work was accomplished through and is based upon His death. His death solves the problem of sin, satisfies the requirements of the law, and quells God’s righteous wrath, causing us to be reconciled and acceptable to God. The Lord’s death resolves the problems of the old man, the flesh, and the old creation, delivering us from sin, the law, and all the bondage and slavery of the old creation. His death also solves the problem of the devil, Satan, and the world, causing us to boast in triumph over them. The Lord’s death is all-inclusive. Everything that is opposed to God, incompatible with God, apart from God, or not of God, including sin, the flesh, Satan, the world, and the old creation, was terminated in this death. When we break bread by placing the bread and cup separately on the table, we display to the universe the all-inclusive death of the Lord, which solved all the problems between us and God. As we display the Lord’s death, we also display everything that the Lord accomplished through His death to God, to the created things in the universe, and to ourselves.

Praise the LORD all ye saints, all though we are many grains, we are one loaf, we eat in one accord, not as individual grains, we testify what God has done in us.

Come, let us eat the bread, let us stand in one accord, let us testify that God has made us one!

Oh, LORD Jesus we love you!

Amen! Ye eat the bread!

Eat the bread! Drink the wine! Why not just say “you people of the Lord! ” Ye is crazy, but I am a crazy lover of Jesus! So ye people of the Lord!! Praise the Lord!

The bread and wine at the table meeting are symbols. The reality is Christ the true bread of life. The bread symbolizes Christ the Spirit. Now we eat Him by believing and receiving in His word. Eating Christ, doesn’t that sounds heretical. The pharisees could not take it. You must believe!

Oh if I could just continue to take you in as the bread of life. I don’t want to be so complicated. I just take your word at face value and believe it which is to receive it. The Lord said “take eat this is my body”. By this we have Christ as our very life! It is by this faith we are made one. We must care for this oneness above all else. The Apostle Peter calls it like precious faith. It is.

We are one!

YE people of the Lord!
