comes, must lead to this: complete oneness with Jesus through the Spirit. (Matt. 26:28; Luke 22:19;
John 6:54-56; 1 Cor. 10:17; 11:25; Rev. 3:20)
Mt 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission
of sins.
Lu 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.
Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him
up at the last day.
Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
1Co 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one
bread.
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is
the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
Re 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I

Job 11:13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to
subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two
leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that
thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Mt 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Lu 1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
Do not imagine, however, that the Supper is nothing but an emblematic token of what we already
have by faith in the word. No: it is a spiritual actual communication from the exalted Lord in heaven
