Apart from connecting you to the source of real life, let us examine another very important relevance of the Communion.
Read John 6:54 from your Bible
When you partake of the Communion worthily, it effects a supernatural change in position for you. Jesus Himself speaking concerning this says: “I will raise him up… “
To ‘raise up’ means to effect a change of position from a lower realm to a high realm. If you pick something from the table and place it on the ground for example, can you claim to have raised it up? No! So, when Jesus says, “I will raise him (the believer) up,” It means, “I am going to multiply, increase and catapult him; I am going to change his position.”
This second benefit of the Communion affects you, the believer in Jesus Christ, in the present world and in the world to come: it has present as well as future day relevance. That is why it says: “… I will raise him up at the last day.”
In my next write-ups, I will be discussing types of raise, in the present world and in the hereafter.
Shalom!
