Matthew 15:17
"Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is ELIMINATED?"
"As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven- not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever." (John 6:57,58)
"and when He had GIVEN THANKS, He broke it and said, 'TAKE, EAT, this is My body which is for you; DO THIS in remembrance of Me.' In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood. THIS DO, AS OFTEN AS YOU DRINK IT, in remembrance of Me.' For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, YOU PROCLAIM the Lord's death till He comes." (1 Corinthians 11:24-26) He is coming at that point for resurrection life to those who obey Him!
"For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls"...(Hebrews 12:3) THIS IS WHERE WE DRINK OF HIS CUP!
Paul informs the Corinthian church what Jesus told the original twelve disciples: partake worthily of communion with Him by eating the bread "which came down from heaven" and makes for everlasting life. Eating this living bread, the bread of God, makes us ready to drink His cup. As we learn to eat, and drink in Jesus name (because of, through and with Him), we will be empowered as we understand to ELIMINATE sin as it approaches; in ourselves first and then for a testimony for others.
