Lord are thoughts that we made? 

11
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,200
Meditate upon your holy and 
divine scriptures at all times 

12

O, Lord of all Father and Son 
and Holy Spirit forever. 

13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,000
Double-edged sword. 
A Christian podcast Ministry 

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,900
presented by father, jonard 
Lazar father. 

15
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,000
Jernard is a parish priest of 
the mud edit Parish of the 

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,900
Assyrian Church of the East and 
Turlock California. 

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,600
Here's father, jernard in The 
Gospel of our Lord and Savior 

18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,400
Jesus Christ, according to the 
preaching of proclamation of st.

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,300
John The evangelists or the 
disciple, the Apostle, 15:4, 

20
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:35,600
Jesus instructs abide in me. 
And I in you see, the invitation

21
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,300
is for you, and I the onus is 
first placed upon you and I he 

22
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:44,200
who desires to follow me, let 
him deny himself and take up his

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,200
cross and follow me because we 
have free will, God is a loving 

24
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,600
God wants us to come to him in 
our love. 

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,300
Our will our desire. 
The word abide in that. 

26
00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:01,800
In the Aramaic language is Bow. 
Wow Bow Wow will be and how 

27
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,900
young or old, why is a root word
for Mac waiter? 

28
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,699
Firm hardened. 
So the word our in Aramaic is 

29
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:16,500
translated as to be established 
to be firm to be hardened in 

30
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:21,300
Christ and he will be also 
establish and firm and hardened 

31
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,000
in us. 
And this comes through a life 

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,800
that is dedicated to a obedience
to Christ that is living in 

33
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,300
Christ Living For Christ, Living
with Christ by Christ, in the 

34
00:02:35,308 --> 00:02:38,400
gospel of st. 
Mark 16:16. 

35
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,000
We read he that believes Jesus 
says, he that believes and is 

36
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,500
baptized lives heya betrayal. 
Translated in the English 

37
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:55,400
version will be saved but what 
is chi lives that is lives in 

38
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,300
Christ, but he, that that does 
not believe is condemned. 

39
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,000
So in John chapter 15 verse 4 in
its entirety Jesus, says, abide,

40
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,500
our wow, be firm established 
hardened in me and I in you as 

41
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,900
the branch cannot yield fruits. 
Now, he gives us an illustration

42
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,100
as the branch cannot yield fruit
of itself. 

43
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:17,900
Unless it abides in the Vine, 
Mine. 

44
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:21,800
So all so neither can you unless
you abide in me? 

45
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Because he is the vine and we 
are the branches. 

46
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,500
And he tells this to his 
disciples and he continues in 

47
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:31,000
verse 5 of chapter 15. 
I am the vine. 

48
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,700
You are the branches. 
He that abides in me and I in 

49
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:39,000
him, he yields much fruit for 
without me. 

50
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,600
You cannot do anything. 
Amen. 

51
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,400
To that abide, the word abide 
appears quite many times in the 

52
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:51,200
Love John. 
Now, the consequence of not 

53
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,800
doing this, not living and being
obedient and fulfilling John 

54
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,600
chapter 15 verses 4 and 5. 
The consequence is in the 

55
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,900
following verse 6, and if a man 
abides, there's the word again, 

56
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:08,500
our established firm hardened 
not in me. 

57
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,900
He is cast forth as a withered 
branch and they gather it up and

58
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:17,000
cast it into the fire to be 
burnt. 

59
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,800
So how do we abide in Christ? 
And the title of this episode is

60
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,100
means through which we abide in 
Christ. 

61
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:31,400
How do we abide in Christ? 
First and foremost is Faith. 

62
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,300
Amen. 
Just as the beginning of wisdom,

63
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,600
is the fear of the Lord. 
At the beginning of the fear of 

64
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,000
the Lord, we can conclude is 
faith. 

65
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:46,800
That is being established being 
firm and hardened in faith. 

66
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,200
Mark 16:16 begins, with Jesus 
begins with he who believes not 

67
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,000
just has an understanding and a 
knowledge and agrees and 

68
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:05,100
confines but believes believe in
what believe in who well, we 

69
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:08,400
Proclaim this in every service 
except funeral services 

70
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,500
believing in one God Almighty 
one. 

71
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:16,000
God. 
Beloved one believe in one God, 

72
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,900
Almighty maker of all things. 
Visible and invisible, I believe

73
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,800
in one Lord, Jesus Christ. 
The only son of God, be caught 

74
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,000
and begotten from the father 
before, all creations and not 

75
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,800
made that true God, he is true. 
God of true, God of one Essence 

76
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,000
with the father, born from the 
Virgin Mary suffered crucified 

77
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,500
died was buried, and rose, and 
shall return, to judge the dead,

78
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,500
and the living believe in one, 
Holy Spirit. 

79
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:47,100
One, holy life, giving spirit 
that is the spirit of truth that

80
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,600
proceeds from the father, 
believed in one, holy and 

81
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,700
Apostolic and Catholic with a 
small c, meaning, Universal 

82
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:57,600
complete church. 
That is the faith that we have 

83
00:05:57,608 --> 00:06:01,300
been called to. 
Now some will say that yes, amen

84
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:04,400
that I be Amen to that. 
That is basically sufficient to 

85
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,100
gain eternal life or be saved. 
You can now close your program 

86
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:10,300
with a prayer. 
No. 

87
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,100
See those who are of this 
understanding. 

88
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,500
I forgetting that that what I've
been speaking about until now 

89
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:23,600
his only faith faith alone. 
And Saint James is quite clear 

90
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,200
about faith alone. 
See, after stress the word 

91
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:32,500
alone, actually, I'm not 
straight, I'm not emphasizing 

92
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:35,200
the word faith, I'm emphasizing 
the word alone. 

93
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:39,400
Only active Faith. 
So James writes in chapter 2, 

94
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,200
verse 14. 
What is the use my brethren? 

95
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:47,000
If a man say I have faith and he
has no Works. 

96
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400
Kenny's Faith, vivify him, give 
him life. 

97
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,400
Any verse 17, he concludes 
faith. 

98
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,200
That has no works is dead, being
alone. 

99
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Meaning let me reword that faith
alone that does not possess 

100
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:10,000
works is dead. 
So to live a faithful life, our 

101
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:18,500
faith must be alive and active. 
Hence to abide in Christ who we 

102
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:22,600
have believed and accepted as 
our Then our savior and have 

103
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,800
been buried in his death through
baptism, Romans 6:3 to for 

104
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:27,800
Saint. 
Paul writes. 

105
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,000
Are you unaware that we who were
baptized into Christ? 

106
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,400
Jesus were baptized into his 
death. 

107
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:38,700
Meaning we will die. 
We were indeed, buried with him,

108
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:42,100
through baptism into death. 
So that just as Christ was 

109
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:45,500
raised from the dead, by the 
glory of the father, we too 

110
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:50,600
might live in newness of life, 
so being such faithful. 

111
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:58,300
Christian's, our faith needs to 
be justified. 

112
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,300
Backed by our Deeds. 
So now there is Faith followed 

113
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:11,500
by baptism. 
Now, we have faith or you have 

114
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:16,800
faith, and you've been baptized,
that is one Faith, Ephesians 

115
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,100
4:5, one faith in the one. 
Lord in whom we were baptized 

116
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:26,000
with one baptism. 
However, beloved now you may say

117
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,300
that is that's also abiding in 
Christ. 

118
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:31,300
There it is. 
Second part of the program. 

119
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:36,299
You can now close off in prayer.
Wait there's more We read in the

120
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:39,900
scriptures. 
There is one specific Way by 

121
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,400
which Jesus actually mentions 
and instructs that we abide in 

122
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:50,400
him. 
And that through this deed act, 

123
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,800
we abide through him. 
So you will not find in the 

124
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,500
scriptures where Jesus says when
you are baptized you abide in 

125
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,000
me. 
If you have faith you abide in 

126
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,700
me. 
But Jesus goes on to say in John

127
00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:08,200
chapter 6 verse 56 and this the 
church believes practices 

128
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:12,700
preachers encourages and 
teachers the faithful to be very

129
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:21,500
alive and active in John 6:56, 
whoever eats my body and drinks.

130
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:26,200
My blood abides in me. 
Let me go back to the beginning 

131
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,400
of the program. 
Abide in me. 

132
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,900
John 15 for abide in me and I in
you. 

133
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:38,100
So, when we eat the body and 
drink, the blood of Christ we 

134
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:42,600
abide in him and he in us. 
So, there is the process, there 

135
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,900
is the deed there. 
Is the act John 656. 

136
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:49,700
Let me read it again. 
Whoever eats my body, and 

137
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,900
drinks. 
My blood abides in me and I in 

138
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:55,000
him, okay? 
Yes, I'm going back and forth 

139
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,300
because I want to make this 
point. 

140
00:09:56,300 --> 00:10:01,200
Very clearly, John chapter 15 
verse 4 abide in me, that means 

141
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,400
be established. 
Be firm. 

142
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,100
Be hardened in me and I in you, 
how do we do that? 

143
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,500
Whoever eats the body, and 
drink, his blood abides in me, 

144
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:13,800
is established in him and he in 
us and we read in the scriptures

145
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:20,300
that Is a body Jesus Associates 
with bread. 

146
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:26,100
John 6:51, I encourage you to 
read John chapter 6. 

147
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,300
I am the living bread. 
There it is. 

148
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,800
The bread, he who came down from
heaven. 

149
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:36,600
And if a man will eat from this 
bread, he will live for eternity

150
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,100
starts, talking about a bread 
and people need to eat this 

151
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:43,100
bread. 
He will live for eternity and 

152
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:49,600
the bread that I shall give is. 
Not as a symbol not as a 

153
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,200
replica. 
No, no. 

154
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:54,900
Is my body. 
So the bread is associated with 

155
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:56,000
his. 
But first, he's talking about 

156
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
his body and if we if we eat his
body and drink his blood, we 

157
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,500
abide in him and he abides in 
us, he's established in US. 

158
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:08,700
He's he's firm in us now, he's 
telling us that that broke that 

159
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:12,800
he's talking about. 
In John, chapter 6, verse 56, is

160
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,800
his body that is that he or he I
want to say that I give for the 

161
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,700
sake of the life of the word, 
the world prior to this in verse

162
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:24,600
15. 
He says this is the bread that 

163
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,200
came down from heaven that a man
may eat of it and he shall not 

164
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,700
die. 
So he's talking about a bread 

165
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,800
and the bread is his body and 
keep that in mind that the bread

166
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,200
is his body. 
But surely, the question is 

167
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,500
raised, we do not need to eat. 
There's no physical eating 

168
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,800
believing accepting obeying 
Angkor abiding. 

169
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,300
Willing verse 55. 
Jesus makes it very clear and 

170
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:56,000
we're talking about means by 
which we can abide in Jesus and 

171
00:11:56,100 --> 00:12:00,000
E, he in us and what is 
specifically mentioned by Jesus 

172
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,700
Christ, in verse 55, Jean 6:55, 
Jesus continues for my flesh, 

173
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:13,700
which means my body is meat. 
Indeed, some translations say is

174
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:16,500
food, indeed. 
Meaning, it's something that you

175
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:20,800
will eat and my Is drink. 
Indeed, you know, it was at this

176
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,300
point some of his disciples 
walked away and said, his words 

177
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:29,200
are very, very difficult who is 
going to eat his body. 

178
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:31,900
That's when he turns around to 
the disciples. 

179
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:35,900
Also, he says, do you all want 
to leave pack done? 

180
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Please go ahead. 
I'm not gonna compromise, I'm 

181
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,500
not gonna change. 
What comes out of my mouth is 

182
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:47,600
confirmed and works because he 
is God, praise be to his name 

183
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:50,200
and then Simon says, where are 
we going to go? 

184
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,900
Lord, where are we going to find
living words that come out of 

185
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:57,500
your mouth? 
I'm paraphrasing. 

186
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:02,200
It was at this point when he 
says, for my flesh is meat or my

187
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,300
body is indeed food and my blood
is indeed drink. 

188
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,100
So beloved, there is a bread 
that is associated and has 

189
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:13,300
fellowship with the body of 
Jesus Christ. 

190
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:19,400
And is actually the body of 
Christ is a Julie, John 651. 

191
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:26,600
And by eating this bread, we 
abide in him and he in us. 

192
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:32,200
So, where is this bread? 
Where do we see? 

193
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Jesus actually revealed this 
bread that is associated with 

194
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,400
his body that we must eat in 
order for us to abide in him and

195
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,000
heat abide in US. 
Yes, yes, amen. 

196
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,500
Let's go back to the mystical, 
supper Not the last supper if it

197
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:55,100
was the Last Supper, there would
be no more suppers performed 

198
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,600
offered. 
It's a mystical supper. 

199
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,200
That's why we call it. 
The Mysteries that Aza John, 26 

200
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,300
26, to 30 is that Matthew 26:26 
to 30. 

201
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,900
But as they ate, Jesus Took 
bread, there it is. 

202
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:13,100
There is the bread that he was 
constantly talking. 

203
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:18,200
He actually physically took 
bread and blessed and broke. 

204
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,900
And he gave it to his disciples,
and he said, take eat, not 

205
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:28,700
swallow, eat which constitutes 
chewing, take eat. 

206
00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:33,800
This is my body and he took a 
cup and he gave thanks, and he 

207
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,800
gave to them, and he said, take 
drink from it. 

208
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,200
All of you, this is my blood for
the New Covenant, which is shed 

209
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,800
in exchange for the many for the
release of sins. 

210
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:48,200
But I say to you that I shall 
not drink again. 

211
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,300
Gain from this fruit of the vine
until the day, in which I shall 

212
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:54,200
drink it with you new in the 
Kingdom of my father. 

213
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,400
And they sang praises, and they 
went out to mount Olive's, just 

214
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,300
a side, note, do you notice 
after they, Jesus concluded, the

215
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:05,800
mystical supper, what do they 
do? 

216
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:08,900
They sing praises. 
So for those who leave 

217
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:12,800
immediately after receiving the 
mystical supper or the holy 

218
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,100
Mysteries, the Habana padishah 
and head straight out to the 

219
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,700
door before getting to the door.
Tap their pockets and pull out 

220
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,000
the cigarettes because they're 
dying for that cigarette. 

221
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Well, what happened to the 
praise that you need to sing. 

222
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,800
That's why we return to back to 
our seats, our church fathers, 

223
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,400
right? 
That those who take the holy 

224
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,600
host and leave, immediately are 
likened to Judas who took the 

225
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,200
bread and left, didn't remain to
sing that praise. 

226
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:41,700
That's why we return back to our
seats and continuing 

227
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:44,800
Thanksgiving, not talk about 
what the game is going to be on 

228
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,100
and are the 49ers going to win. 
And I can't wait. 

229
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,300
The Eagles are playing and I'm 
not too familiar with them to 

230
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:54,000
verse with the sports. 
No, you return. 

231
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,800
Back to your seat and you give 
thanks to God. 

232
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,900
I'm going to read the prayer of 
Thanksgiving. 

233
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:03,700
In Luke chapter 22 verse 19. 
Jesus says, do this in 

234
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:06,200
remembrance of me. 
So what he did in the mystical 

235
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,900
supper, we showed us the he 
showed us the bread, he revealed

236
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,600
to us the bread. 
That is his body that we must 

237
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,600
eat and drink of the cup as 
well. 

238
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,400
So that we may abide in him, and
in Luke chapter 22 verse 19, he 

239
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,700
commenced you need to do this in
my remembrance. 

240
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,800
That's why in the book of Acts 
of the Apostles, and the church 

241
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,500
would come together on the first
day of the week Sunday had 

242
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,200
shaba. 
For the breaking, not of the 

243
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,600
bread of the are Harris, Tia of 
the Eucharist and they would 

244
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,900
develop themselves to the 
teachings of the Apostles. 

245
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,800
And again of this bread, that is
the body of Jesus Christ st. 

246
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:51,300
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 
verses, 1 Corinthians 11, verses

247
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:58,400
17 to 23, whoever they for eats 
of the bread of the Lord God and

248
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,099
drinks from his cup and is 
Unworthy of it is guilty for the

249
00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:07,800
blood of the Lord. 
So, what is this bread? 

250
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,099
They were eating. 
If not the body of Christ, they 

251
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:14,400
were guilty for the blood of 
Lord, the Lord. 

252
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,300
And for his body because of this
letter man, searched his soul, 

253
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:23,500
Then eat of this bread and drink
from this cup for whoever eats 

254
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:25,500
and drinks from it being 
unworthy. 

255
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:29,500
This is not just ordinary bread.
Beloved, this is not just a 

256
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:33,300
symbol. 
It is the body through which we 

257
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:38,200
can remain in Christ for whoever
eats and drinks from it being 

258
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,900
unworthy eats and drinks, a 
guilty verdict into his soul for

259
00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:47,200
not distinguishing, the body of 
the Lord, because of this many 

260
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,600
among you are ill and sick. 
Leave We and many are asleep. 

261
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,400
Meaning they died. 
What was this bread? 

262
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,700
They were eating that was 
killing them because they were 

263
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,200
unworthy for. 
If we would judge ourselves, we 

264
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,900
would not be judged. 
But when we are judged by our 

265
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:06,200
Lord, we are chastised. 
So that we would not be 

266
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,300
condemned with the world. 
The world, the Blessed theof, 

267
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:13,900
the offer lacked. 
Look at what he writes. 

268
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,800
In his commentaries, I will give
my flesh. 

269
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,200
We're comprehend that the sun 
has a free and independent will 

270
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,800
and Authority when he says, I 
will give you this flesh. 

271
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,700
I will give you this bread. 
Note carefully. 

272
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:32,200
That the bread, which we eat in 
the sacrament of communion is 

273
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,400
neither figure nor symbol of the
Lord's flesh. 

274
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,700
It is the Lord's fresh Christ. 
Did not say the bread that I 

275
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:42,800
will give you is a figure of My 
Flesh. 

276
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:49,200
But is my Flesh in a manner 
Beyond explanation, mysteriously

277
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:56,000
mystically and spiritually. 
In 1 Corinthians chapter 10, 

278
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,700
verses 14 to 17. 
Paul continues about this the 

279
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:01,700
cup, listen to this very 
carefully. 

280
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,600
The cup of Thanksgiving that we 
bless is it not the partaking of

281
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,000
the presence of the blood of the
Messiah or Christ and is not our

282
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,100
breaking of bread. 
The sharing in the presence of 

283
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:19,300
the body of the Messiah just as 
that is one bread and thus we 

284
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:23,300
are all one body the church for 
we all receive from that which 

285
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:26,600
is Bread. 
The bread that is associated 

286
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,400
with the body of Christ that we 
need to eat and the cup that is 

287
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,100
associated with these blood that
we need to drink to abide in 

288
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:38,100
Jesus Christ. 
And he abides in us. 

289
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:45,500
So, faith in the one, Lord one 
baptism into the death and 

290
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:50,100
resurrection of the one. 
Lord, and partaking in the one 

291
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,400
bread and cup, which is the body
of Our Lord. 

292
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:59,300
Is what we need to abide in 
Jesus Christ and for him to 

293
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:03,500
abide in us. 
Please do not think for one 

294
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:07,300
minute that I am voiding, 
praying reading the holy 

295
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:12,000
scriptures, fasting almsgiving 
and you know our Christian 

296
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,900
obligate daily Christian 
obligations. 

297
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:20,100
No, but what I'm emphasizing is 
Jesus specifically spoke about 

298
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:24,700
one thing that we need to be 
partakers of is his Body and his

299
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:29,200
blood in order for us to remain 
in him and he remain in us 

300
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,200
again, John chapter 15 verse 4 
abide. 

301
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,500
That means be established be 
firm. 

302
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:40,400
Be hardened in me and I in you, 
and then he goes on to say, he 

303
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,100
who eats the body and drinks the
blood. 

304
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:45,200
Let me close off with this 
prayer. 

305
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:51,300
And I pray that this this 
episode, for those who, you 

306
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:55,500
know, who take coming To church 
and attending church and to 

307
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,000
partake in the Holy Eucharist 
for the remission of sins. 

308
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:02,100
Take very likely, you know, some
think that when the church is 

309
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:05,600
announcing and proclaiming that,
we need to attend the church 

310
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,500
service in these particular, the
mystical supper and the the 

311
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:13,000
mysteries of the, you know, the 
the celebration of the Divine 

312
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,300
Liturgy of the Mysteries of the 
Holy order Banner. 

313
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,400
It is not just so there are 
numbers. 

314
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,300
It's not a numbers game. 
It's not because I haven't seen 

315
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,600
you and I miss you. 
I want to see you to fill that 

316
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,600
chair. 
No. 

317
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:29,600
It's so that you may first enter
the church, which is the body of

318
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,600
Christ. 
Thank God for allowing you and 

319
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,200
giving you the opportunity to 
come into the church so that you

320
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,900
can draw near to him and we can 
you know, offer our repentance 

321
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:44,500
has an hour, our confession and 
you know our grieve over our 

322
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:48,900
sins so that we can partake in 
the service of the Thanksgiving 

323
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:53,200
service which we thank rise for 
what he has given us as a as a 

324
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:58,500
Addition that does not use 
medicine that he's going to, you

325
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,900
know, direct us to that one 
medicine, a fiery medicine which

326
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:06,300
is the body and blood of Christ 
that you may be absolved by the 

327
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:08,300
church. 
That has the power to absolve 

328
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:11,200
through Jesus Christ. 
And that you may be made worthy 

329
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,400
to partake in his all 
sanctifying body and blood for 

330
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,000
the remission of sins and to 
remain in him and he in us. 

331
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:22,800
Remember I think I mentioned 
ones I drew the analogy of a 

332
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:25,200
husband and wife. 
Have a have an intimate 

333
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,500
relationship together because 
they are one body. 

334
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:31,600
They are permitted to have that 
intimate relationship together. 

335
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,700
That is why the, the the wedding
brilliant wedding bed is 

336
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:39,300
blessed, is purified as Saint 
Paul writes. 

337
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:44,900
It's the same thing between us 
being the church, the Bride of 

338
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:48,900
the Heavenly bridegroom. 
Jesus Christ we come every week,

339
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,800
every first day of the week and 
we have that spiritual that all 

340
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,000
intimate relationship through 
the partaking of the Holy 

341
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,800
Eucharist. 
He abides in us, or we abide in 

342
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:06,200
him and he abides in us, let us 
close with this prayer that the 

343
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,300
Deacon proclaims after everyone 
has consumed. 

344
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:14,400
And as partaking in the Holy 
Eucharist, he proclaims, let us 

345
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,600
all therefore who buy the gift 
of Grace. 

346
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
So only by the grace of God, and
the gift of the grace of the 

347
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,600
Holy Spirit. 
I have drawn near and have been 

348
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,400
made worthy. 
And I've participated in the 

349
