DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, OCTOBER 24, 2012
DRINKING INTO ONE SPIRIT
The Church of Jesus Christ, the true Isarel of God has been made to drink of one Spirit--that is the Holy Spirit. Our faith, our power, our joy, our future, our salvation is in the Holy Spirit.We all acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah, the anointed one sent from God to save us. We all acknowledge the Jesus gave of his flesh and shed of his blood to redeem us. Jesus declared in the book of St John: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. (John 6:56). Our communion is based upon the eating of the flesh and drinking of the blood of Jesus. We must partake. We must digest. We must be tranformed into one body--the body of Christ.
Our Bibles provide needed nourishment for the body of Christ. For the Holy Scriptures are the living Word of God. As we commune in the Word, we are quickened, changed and transformed by the renewing of our minds. The Spirit and nature of Christ indwells us as we feast on his Word, and we are built up a holy body.-- both Jews and Gentiles. Baptism also brings us into oneness, as well as prayer and fellowship.
Today, we rejoice as we are drinking into one Spirit.
