This is my body

There aren't many times that scripture seems
crystal clear, usually we deem it possible
to get more than one meaning out of it.

Certainly that would seem to be the case here?

Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.>br>
Mar 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake [it], and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1Cr 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

It is an almost perfectly quiet event,
it would seem to me, what we commonly
refer to as, the last supper. That
isn't actually what was taking place
at all, Jesus was proving Himself the
Passover Lamb, the sacrifice. That
is certainly one reason for the event,
and certainly one reason why His
ministry may not have been three
years long. If you aren't familiar
with the practice of the sacrificial
Lamb in Jewish life back then,
please ask me, I'll get back with
you one on one
and do my very best to make it
make sense, although with a
subject as heavy as that one,
it'll be a challenge.

For today let's put it this way-
Jesus was predicting an event
that hadn't yet happened. He
hadn't been arrested, He hadn't
been tried and found guilty,
He hadn't been placed into a
borrowed tomb, to rise again,
His blood having now become
our Lamb! None of that had
happened, yet. So this saying
is intensely and majestically,
one of the oddest of all time.

Let me give you at least one hint
here- it's quite possible that
Jesus was explaining how powerful
the presence of our physical self
is, when it comes to the reality
of walking with God? Until we meet
tomorrow let's pray for each other.
