In this sermon After The Bread and Wine, points to the breaking of the body of Christ and shedding of His blood in death. The bread and wine is a very prominent picture in the minds of the New Testament Church.  It speaks of the greatest event to occur for all mankind, the cross of Jesus Christ.  His body was broken and His blood was shed in His death on the cross.  The bread and wine point us to this great truth. When we follow the Lord’s will and walk in self denial, God sees the very same elements of self denial Christ manifested, and we identify with Christ’s death in a special way.  We in effect receive BREAD AND WINE of His denial into our lives and make it part of our experience.  Putting it into our bodies in communion supper represents the identification of Christ’s self denial in seeking God’s will and not our own.  And since the bread and wine represent His death that led to His resurrection, we are indicating that resurrection power is dwelling within our lives!  And that power will raise us up above and over any trouble that comes our way.
