Now we have before US the exact
meaning Of what Christ said in.
regard to the eating Of his flesh
and the drinking of his blood.
this saying of Jesus WAS TO be
fulfilled in obedience to the above
scripture Tor Paul said again.

He spoke in parallels referring
in this emblem to his death and
resurrection in and by the Lords
supper. This he 30 plainly ex-
plains by Paul in the scripture
we have quoted above from Cor.
inthians. Then We learn from
Christ's own language that it
was not the natural flesh and
blood. But Christ is In every.
thing we cat and drink for he il
our life, and when ever we eat.
bread we eat the flesh 0i Christ
and when ever we drink water
we drink his blood, for the blood
is the life thereof. And Is We
said above the communion or
Lord 8 supper is tho emblem Of
his real body and blood, hence
when ever we eat 1t or drink II
unworthily We eat and drink
damnat;on, to our self not discern
ling the Lord. s body. s.
