Unlimited: This is My Body Jul 15, 2024 1579 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body (Mark 14:22, NIV).” The strangeness of this Passover meal continues. And just as Christ himself broke the bread, so too no-one broke his body, except as an act of his own will (John 10:18.) Then Jesus gave the bread to the disciples as a gift, saying to them, “Take it.” Through these words, Jesus was establishing the symbolic link between the broken bread and his sacrifice at Calvary. You can be present at this meal, and eat the bread and drink the wine, but not participate in its meaning, because you don’t spiritually “take it,” as Jesus said, and so you don’t affirm from your heart that the body of Jesus was broken for your salvation.

This verse profoundly reflects on Jesus' sacrifice. By bearing our sins on the cross, He enables us to die to sin and live in righteousness. His wounds bring us healing, offering redemption and new life.
Through His suffering, we find peace and healing. His wounds serve as a source of redemption and restoration for humanity's transgress.
Have you ever considered that when you condemn yourself for something, you are saying that the blood of Jesus wasn’t enough? And when you take on and wear shame, you are saying Jesus’ sacrifice didn’t cover this particular thing for which you feel shame? Unfortunately, several religious communities
Peter rebuked Jesus about saying that he was going to Jerusalem where he would be killed. And Jesus in turn rebuked Peter for standing in his way with his worldly thinking. Now Jesus wanted to emphasise to the Twelve how different the spiritual reality is from the way that the world thinks. What Jesus said here were not the things that would make anyone popular. Jesus said these things after Peter had tried to block him from going to the Cross.
