I cannot heal myself or bring blessings to myself. Communion reminds me I did not save myself. Why do I need to eat and drink the communion elements? The work of the cross has passed.” But every believer needs to remind himself of the power of the cross still at work in his or her life every day. When Jesus made reference to the communion elements, He said “ As often as you partake of the communion elements, do it in remembrance of Me” (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).Īn arrogant person might say, “I’ve been born again. The stripes and blood of Jesus are to be used in our everyday lives. He took our poverty that we, through His poverty, might be made rich. He took our sin so we could walk in His righteousness.

Jesus’ desire is to cause the flesh of our body to be brought back together again-to be healed! Healing is the uniting and bringing back together of what disease has parted. His body was literally torn, that ours could be brought back together. The stripes Jesus received came from a whip, and that whip tore and separated His flesh until blood flowed from the wounds. The rest of our being has been taken care of by the stripes Jesus bore in His body. Our spirit has been set free and made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ. The punishment that brought our peace was on him and by his wounds we are healed.Īnd he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.The work of Jesus on the cross dealt with our entire being.
