So, when Jesus said

Take, eat, this is mybody/blood...

It must be true becauseGod does not lie!

But, surely Jesus only

meant it at the time hesaid it?

But, surely Jesus only

meant it at the time hesaid it?

Hebrews 4:12 saysThe word of God is alive and active...which pretty much answers that question.

So what about in Mass,

is it His body and bloodthen?

So what about in Mass,

is it His body and bloodthen?

Since God has not contradictedthe words of Jesus, we can, in theoryaccept it is still true today!

Jesus said the bread was His Body and thewine was His blood.

Jesus is God, the son and the Word of God.

God creates by speaking, His word is true and

brings things into existence.

So...

The Word of God is ALIVE and ACTIVE so that goesfor the words spoken thousands of years ago(If not, we would also not be saved today!)

We are saved because Jesus said This is myblood...which will be shed for all so that sins maybe forgiven which is another eternal truth!

The Priest in a Holy Mass is taking on the roleof Jesus as he reads the scripture.

Have you considered that the words of Jesus, Do thisin memory of memight mean Don't forget what I'vedone for youand yet His words prior to this are true?

Wouldn't it be powerful if, when any Christians metin each others homes, to break bread and share alittle wine specifically to remember their Saviour,

together, not simply waiting for Sunday?

Finally...

1 Corinthians 33

So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather toeat, you should all eat together.

Communion, is about unity,don't let it be a source of division.

Isaiah 40:8The grass withers, the flower fades, the

Word of God stands forever
