Lame Cherry: Sacrament of the Altar: For Us

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

Dr. Martin Luther in this conclusion of the Lord's Supper, rests on the two most wonderful words of for you.

That is lost in most Christians and all the unsaved, in the focus is always on God where it should be, but God did all of this for each of you. For God so loved the world, meaning all of you, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever should believe on Him, should have eternal Life.

The Elohim created all of this, because the Father Willed to create children who chose Him over their physicals selves, accepting what God said without physical proof, but alone on childlike Faith. It was not about witnesses, but believing God, as Abraham did and was justified because He believed God would fulfill His Promise of Salvation.

Once though Eve and Adam sinned, God could have just started over again as satan tainted humanity a satan was tainted. satan was full of beauty and wisdom as Lucifer, but Lucifer was never all knowing. I honestly believe that satan thought in bringing sin to Adam and Eve, that satan had fouled God's plan for pure Spiritual children, but God already had a purpose in the sin, because by sin, God would produce a situation that the same will which brought sin into the world, would provide a choice of Life and death to people. Instead of Adam and Eve unknowing in the Garden, now God would have billions of humans choosing God or themselves, and God would have the children He intended all along.

The Father gives those predestined to Christ, as all have already decided before they were born into this world whether they will choose Salvation or their own selves, and none who return to Christ will ever be denied and cast away.

John 6:37

All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.

God in this for us, does not make it impossible. Yes it is our learning to walk that our earthly parents let us fall or else we would not learn to walk, but God is always there and is not going to let us destroy ourselves by lack of Faith. Having a lack of Faith means not a complete absence of Faith. Jesus will always fill in for us in our doubts. Jesus will always reach out and pull the Peter of us out of the waves when we think we can walk on water.

Mark 9:24

And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

There is preparation necessary for us, all of us. The Christian just does not show up to eat and drink like we would a meal, because the Christian is not feeding themselves, but is observing a legal contract to Life.
We can fast and do other things, but we need to fast in our hearts and Spirits, meaning we have to focus solemnly on the facts that we are redeemed sinners, that Christ died for us literally in a horrid death, and that we believe this was all done for us, as a Gift of God. This is not something to be taken for granted as it can never be replicated or replaced. Without Jesus we are all dead forever in torment. With Jesus we have Alive in Peace, Joy and Love.

Who receives this sacrament worthily?
Fasting and bodily preparation are certainly fine outward training. But that person is truly worthy and well prepared who has faith in these words: “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.”
But anyone who does not believe these words or doubts them is unworthy and unprepared, for the words “for you” require all hearts to believe.

We need to examine ourselves before Communion to not delude ourselves ever that we are not without sin. We are growing in perfection but not perfect, not keeping the Law perfect. We need Christ's perfection and we need to humbly always approach the Gift of Christ.

I Corinthians 11:28
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

We are one Body in Christ. Just as we want to stay healthy, we stay away from people with colds, flu and diseases. It is the same with sin. Sin and it's upheaval disrupts the Communion with Christ for you.

Romans 16:17

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

We deny ourselves in our lusts and selves which are destroying us for pleasures of a moment, and we suffer at times for our being ostracized by people as they do not like being reminded of their sin, but when we are Faithful to Christ in this life until it is finished, Christ will give for you a crown of eternal Life.

Revelation 2:10

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:.......... be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

This is the for us which this is why God has created and accomplished all of this in the crown of Life. Each of us in Communion is confessing Christ as our Savior and professing Jesus as our Savior gives us our crown of Life.

God did all of this for us. God created all of this, this entire universe which will end, time will end, sin will end, and death will end, to grow His Spirit in us to transform us into the Spiritual offspring of His Spirit. An entire universe, and off to one side is a massive earth to us and a nothing earth in all of this, as our womb, as our soul is the womb of the breath of life into which the Spirit of God is implanted, just as the Holy Ghost implanted by a miracle the Word of God into the human body of Christ in the Virgin Mary's womb.
None of us in all this universe could ever be found in this immenseness by any instrument humans could ever create if they lived a billion years.

God though knows us, knows always where we are, He did this all for us.
