Chew With the Soul

If the ascension of Christ has anything to teach us at this table it is that you’re going to have to chew with more than your mouth. He really has ascended bodily so if you are going to eat His flesh and drink His blood, you’re going to have to use more than your teeth. But strangely enough not less than your teeth. This table teaches us that Christ has joined all things together, things in heaven and things on earth. And so as your mouth eats this bread and drinks this cup so your soul eats the body of Christ and drinks His blood. 

This makes the modern mind explode. And makes the Christian heart say, “Wow.” Nothing could be more mysterious and more plain at the same time. If the spirit of Christ gives life to your mortal body (Romans 8:11) why is it any surprise that the body of Christ gives life to your thirsty soul (Psalm 42:2)? So do you need courage? Eat it. Do you need fortitude? Drink it. Do you need peace? Eat His flesh. Do you need gladness of heart? Drink His blood. Come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
