Abide in Him and He in you:
John 6:56
56 “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I
in him.
Some believe that during Communion
the elements become Jesus’ flesh and blood. Let’s not argue about whether
that’s true or not. Jesus gave His flesh and His blood for us. (The Old
Testament talks about the life being in the blood.) Some say that we have a
bloody religion. Without Jesus’ blood, there is no Christianity. Without Him
giving His flesh for us, there is no hope for us for the future. It’s just here
and now. If we continually partake of that giving of His flesh and blood for
us, we do abide in Him. If we push it aside, we take the focus off Him and
place it on ourselves. We must continually live in Him.
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"Some
people would only want to be in Me when it is convenient or when they need My
help; but I want people who will want to stay in Me continually. This comes
from wanting Me no matter what the cost. Will it cost you convenience? Will it
cost you approval? Will it cost you your life? If you would abide in Me, it
will cost you your very soul; for I only want those that will give all for Me
as I gave all for them. This is My life. This is My flesh.”
43. I continually
abide in Him and He in me.
