THE HOLY EUCHARIST

WHY IS IT CALLED EUCHARIST? IN GREEK IT IS EUCHARISTEIN- MEANING "THANKSGIVING"

IT IS ALSO OUR PASSOVER MEAL - IT WAS INSTITUTED BY JESUS CHRIST ON THE NIGHT BEFORE HE WAS  (JOHN  26:17 )

BETRAYED - HE WAS CELEBRATING THE JEWISH PASSOVER --WHICH COINCIDES WITH THE FEAST OF THE

SEVEN DAYS "FEAST OF THE UNLEAVENED BREAD" AND THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY

WHAT IS THIS PASSOVER ? WHEN THE PHAROAH REFUSED TO RELEASE THE JEWS TO MOSES TO LEAD THEM

OUT OF EGYPT INTO A PROMISED LAND PALESTINE AFTER BEING MADE SLAVES IN EGYPT FOR 400

YEARS...GOD AFTER PUNISHING THE PHAROAH AND EGYPT PLAGUES AFTER PLAGUES ,INCIDENTALLY THESE

PLAGUES WERE ALSO THE DEITIES EGYPT WORSHIPPED AND GOD USED THEM TO PUNISH EGYPT...BUT STILL

THE PHAROAH REFUSED TO RELEASED THE JEWS TO MOSES.

NOW GOD SAID - HE WILL KILL ALL FIRST BORNS - MAN AND BEASTS INCLUDING INSECTS.

GOD SAID HE WILL SEND AN ANGEL OF DEATH TO ALL ...AND THE ONLY WAY THIS ANGEL WILL PASS BY

THEM IS TO OFFER A YEAR OLD LAMB OR GOAT -- KILL THEM ROAST THEM AND EAT THEM TOGETHER WITH

AN UNLEAVENED BREAD (FLOUR AND WATER ONLY NO YEAST).. AND THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB PAINTED ON

THEIR DOORS... WHEN THE ANGEL SAW THIS SIGN - HE WILL "PASS" BY THEIR HOUSES. THAT NIGHT

THERE WAS WAILING AND SCREAMING AMONG THE EGYPTIANS INCLUDING THE PHAROAH WHOSE ELDEST SON

DIED THAT NIGHT...

THE JEWS FINALLY WERE RELEASED AND SENT OUT OF EGYPT... TO CUT THE STORY SHORT.. GOD

INSTRUCTED THE JEWS TO CELEBRATE THIS EVENT EVERY YEAR IN "THANKSGIVING" FOR THEY WERE ONCE

SLAVES AND NOW THEY ARE FREE....

WHILE THEY WERE EATING - THIS WAS THE JEWISH PASSOVER MEAL .. JESUS TOOK BREAD AND SAID THIS

IS MY BODY, IT WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU -(THE BREAD HIS BODY? AND GIVEN UP FOR US? IS JESUS

TALKING NONSENSE HERE ? )JESUS SAID TAKE IT AND EAT IT ..THEN HE TOOK THE WINE HE SAID THIS

IS MY BLOOD .THE CUP OF THE TCOVENANT WHICH WILL BE SHED FOR THE MANY...DO THIS IN

REMEMBRANCE OF ME..

JESUS WHO SPENT THREE YEARS TEACHING A NEW COVENANT "THE GOSPEL" REPLACING THE OLD AND

IMPERFECT ONE HEBREW 8:7 WHICH HAS BECOME AGING AND OBSOLETE 8:13 WILL NOW BE REPLACED WITH

THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT FOR NOTHING FOLLOWS , THIS COVENANT WILL BE SEALED BY HIS

OWN BLOOD ON THE CROSS ACTS 20:28 HEBREWS 12:24 ,THE OLD ONE SEALED ONLY WITH THE BLOOD OF

AN ANIMAL ...

THE OLD COVENANT WAS THE DELIVERANCE OF THE JEWS FROM SLAVERY TO THEIR FREEDOM

THE NEW COVENANT IS OUR DELIVERANCE FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN -FROM DEATH TO LIFE ETERNAL IN

HEAVEN ...

BUT THE NEW COVENANT MEAL HAS TO BE EATEN !!- JESUS THE LAMB OF LAMBS WHO WILL TAKE AWAY THE

SINS OF THE WORLD HAS TO BE EATEN.

AND ON THAT NIGHT DURING THE LAST SUPPER - JESUS GAVE US THE NEW COVENANT MEAL THE BREAD

WHICH IS HIS TRUE BODY AND THE WINE HIS REAL BLOOD.

THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS ON THE CROSS WAS DONE ONCE AND FOR ALL ... BUT JESUS SAID THAT HIS

PRIESTS OF THE NEW COVENANT THE APOSTLES PRESENT IN THAT SUPPER, MUST DO IT IN REMEMBRANCE

OF HIM.

AND IN OUR CELEBRATION OF THE MASS- WE ENTER INTO THAT ONE TIME ACT OF JESUS CRUCIFIED AND

THE PRIEST OFFERS A PURE OFFERING ON OUR ALTARS WHICH IS INCENSED IN "THANKSGIVING " IN OUR

ADORATION OF OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST - MALACHI 1:11 WHILE THE SUN RISES IN ALL

THE CHURCHES IN THE WORLD ..

MARK 11:17 - MY HOUSE WILL BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER IN ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD ... ...

John 6:51
Revised Standard Version (RSV)
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will

live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

John 6:53
Revised Standard Version (RSV)
53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of

man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;

John 6:56

New International Version (©1984)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

THE HOLY EUCHARIST - JESUS IS PRESENT BODY AND BLOOD SOUL AND DIVINITY - OUR ETERNAL LIFE

1 Corinthians 11:27

Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be

guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

WHY WILL WE BE SINNING AGAINST A PIECE OF BREAD AND A DROP OF WINE ? PAUL SAID - HE BEGUN

WITH BREAD AND WINE AND ENDED WITH THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD-

READ CHAPTER 11 OF 1 COR - THE TRADITION PAUL TAUGHT TO THE FIRST CHRISTIANS AND THEY WERE

NOT EATING THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST- BUT BREAKING BREAD... CELEBRATING THE MASS....
