The meal known as The Lord’s Supper should be prepared correctly and handled by the right people. Then Jesus, as Lord, says “Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:54) Keep in mind that this is only for the redeemed to whom the blood has been applied and they are no longer a sinner in God’s eyes but a saint of His now. If you are not a redeemed person, you can drink damnation to your soul.
Jesus said in John 14:2-3, “In my Father’s house (Heaven), are many mansions (rooms aplenty). If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am there ye may be also”. Jesus also said, “And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:40)
Today we can feel His Spirit and if we accept Him and are redeemed, we are set free from sin. When we confess what He has done for us to others, He passes us back salvation so that we may live righteous and holy in this world and one day be in Heaven same as Peter, James, John and many others.
There are those today who say we did not get to see Jesus as the disciples did and that is true. We did not get to sit with Jesus and listen to him talk. But today, you can sit in church and listen to Jesus talk through the sermon and feel the Spirit take hold. It is so powerful that you cannot sit still with the Spirit telling you to go to the altar and when you do, the Spirit takes hold and you can feel Jesus beside you. He is so close that you will put out your hand to touch Him. This Spirit is not mentioned in the Old Testament. Why? It was not in motion then. It is the resurrected Spirit of a risen Lord that suffered death on an old wicked cross. No, his disciples did not feel it until after His resurrection. It first came in to help, as we find in the second chapter of Acts, but only to those who have accepted Jesus as Lord. That is the time for the Lord to bless with His resurrected Spirit. That is why the Holy Ghost is not mentioned in the Old Testament.
