The Purpose of Communion | Renewal from Christ | Tony Evans Sermon Clip

Dr. Tony Evans shows us the significance of Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and the often overlooked day in between. Join him as he discusses how this day of spiritual activity informs our understanding of communion and the deep level of intimate partnership it offers with the Lord. Through participation in communion, we can experience the victory over sin and Satan that Jesus achieved through his death and resurrection all those years ago.

So communion makes us right with God or draws us closer? I though the Grace and the blood took care of that. I don’t take communion to be close to God. I take it because I am already close! 🧐🧐🧐

[@watchthewatsons7662]

Communing with God and taking Communion (communing) as remembrance of God is different yet goes hand in hand. Communing with God is spending time with Him on an intimate level, getting to know Him, learning of His ways, Hearing His voice, obeying His word, fellowship with Him and we do this so that we will be able to take on the mind of Christ and become Hoy which also draws us closer to Him. This is an act of us showing Him that we acknowledge that His body was broken and His Blood was shed so that we can be free from sin, and not perish but have eternal life just as we do with taking communion. Now Taking Communion is symbolizing (some may even say a ritual, but according to 1 Corinthians 11 it says as often as you do this, do this in remembrance of me) that once again we are remembering the fact that His body was broken and His Blood was shed. and in reading the passage you will understand why it is important to examine yourself before taking communion. According to the word of God We are saved by grace. We are washed by His Blood.

[@rjc9537]

@@watchthewatsons7662 Amen! But doesn’t the fact that His Spirit lives in us means we are already at an ultimate closeness / oneness with HIM? Perhaps what you are referring to is feeling close to God. Emotionally connected to God. Both spiritual and emotional connection, right?

[@trishakaaay3720]

Where does it say in the Bible that Satan is in hell or was in? Scripture please. 3:52 as Tony Evans states. The Bible says that he roams the earth to and fro seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8; Job 1:7; He was thrown down to earth Rev 12:9-10.

[@trishakaaay3720]

1:40 According to Matthew 27:58-60, Jesus was buried in Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb and not Nicodemus.

[@PaliknoaSigrah-f3b]

Dr. & Pastor Evans, I truely thank you for the words. What do you mean by this, "so that HIS Saterday will become your Sunday". Please help. Does it has something to do with the Sabbath is no longer Saturday and since He rose on Sunday, we observe Sunday instead?

[@rosemarydotson3322]

AGREEMENT

[@fuzzyaomeba2844]

..died in body and madealive in the spirit.. Jesus the Christ, God and man went to hell to proclaim his victory over sin, death and the devil.. 1 Peter 3:18-22 (oh and now, baptism now saves you..)

[@Huckleberry04]

Jesus could not have died on a Friday if he spent 3 days and 3 NIGHTS in the grave. There are things we all dont get right.

[@demur8959]

Where dis the Bible ever mention 3 nights. A day b4 God is counted by the sunrise not your Roman Monday Tuesday Wednesday sir. "Every sunrise is a new day" Psalm

[@lafilledudieuvivant8885]

Where do I get the full sermon please???

[@FrankPCarpi]

Not to discredit any of the rest of this teaching, but only that "good Friday" is a Roman Catholic Church confusion that continues until this day in Protestant churches. Christ was killed on Passover, a Wednesday in 31 a.d., with the high day being Thursday, the women were able to buy and prepare spices on Friday and then wait until after the weekly, seventh-day Sabbath. After the Sabbath, the women arrived at the tomb on the first day of the week, Sunday.

[@enok6316]

what sermon is this clip from?

[@MikeWalksWithJesus]

Do you think communion is necessary for glorification or do you think Jesus is the only way?

[@Dobbie890]

Jesus set in the upper room and break bread with His Disciples to demonstrate what The Tearing of His body would be like in eating his flesh, the drinking of the wine is representation of His Blood he spilled or shed for us on the Cross. We do it in remembrance of Him. 1 Corithians 11:23-32 🍷 🍞 📖 ➕

[@RUT812]

Salvation is necessary for salvation, and we can only be saved through Jesus. He is the 𝑜𝓃𝓁𝓎 way. We cannot partake of communion unworthily. We must be saved by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus.

[@tubflysunshine7922]

Too bad he never mentioned that it's a reminder of what Jesus did on the cross for the people he loves. Nothing we did, but all he did to bring us salvation. That's the truth claim.

GOD YEHOVAH FORBIDS THE EATING OF ANY TYPE OF BLOOD Genesis 9:4 ASV But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. Leviticus 7:26-27 ASV And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings. [27] Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 17:10-14 ASV And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. [11] For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life. [12] Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. [13] And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. [14] For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. Deuteronomy 12:23-25 ASV Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh. [24] Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water. [25] Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.

[@ronkebarber6238]

The Passover/ Communion: Leviticus 16; Deuteronomy 16; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30; Matthew 26:26-29. Since it became certain that Jesus Christ had to be killed and atone for the sins of the Israel on the one hand (because of God's statutes), and the whole world, on the other, ( because God had no dealings whatsoever with them, thither-to, Israel to commemorate their deliverance from Egypt- Jesus Christ, from the world, and that there should be a way for the whole world- both Jews and Gentiles, to enter freely into the presence of God the Father, by the veil of the temple which later split into two, for especially those who do not have any rights of access to His presence- from priests to the stranger among His people. Leviticus 16:2. Now that He became the Priest as well as the sacrificial Lamb, He had to complete the process as written: He was supposed to put on the whole armor of God: 16:4- linen coat - of righteousness; breeches- truth; girdle- righteousness; and linen mitre on His head- helmet of salvation, replaced with the crown of thorns.Ephesians 6. 16:5-11; the two kids of the goats- the two thieves on the cross with Him, one on the right hand, and the other on the left, one on the left became the scapegoat, and the other for the Lord vs 6-11. Jesus Christ died and was buried. 16:18-22. The veil of the temple was torn into two, thereby making way for priests - both Jews and Gentiles, to boldly come into the presence of the Lord and will not die. Exodus 19:6; Isaiah 61:6; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6, thus fulfilling God's all time purpose. They're the Believers in Christ. The Passover was to be observed for 7 days, but was cut in half, until the next time He drinks the Passover wine in the Kingdom of His Father. Matthew 26:29. He rose again from the dead after three days and three nights. He was killed outside the camp- Deuteronomy 16:5-6; Matthew 27:45-50. He left His grave clothes behind 16:23. The water and blood that flowed from His side availed for Him, to see the Father. He then returned to appear unto His desciples John 20:19. He was seen of Mary, before His ascension, but she couldn't touch him because He hadn't ascended to be sanctified by the Father- as would a priest, anyone that had been dead, and had to sprinkle the blood of atonement for all the sins he had carried on Himself, for which wages He had just paid. Numbers 19:11; Haggai 2:11-14; Leviticus 16:16-19 (17, no man should be around Him). He left taking of Communion as a statute for all Believers in Him, which keeps them in His fold, as the blood of sprinkling always avails for them every time they venture through the veil- opened by His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection from the dead 1 Corinthians 15:51-58, which keeps them under the atoning power of His blood, and immune from the devil, who had the power of death and hell, but now lost it to Jesus Revelation 1:18. Each time the Believer commemorates this, though they die daily, 1 Corinthians 15:31, but also live daily until He returns as promised, to redeem His purchased possession! This reminds them that no matter what they see of go through, Jesus Christ already atoned for their sins, and He is always with them, even to the conclusion of the system of this world. 1 Corinthians 1123-30; Matthew 28:20. In conclusion, all who must partake must partake worthily- this means they can not participate with self- recriminations or condemnations whatsoever. They must partake of it with joy and blessed hope of the promised glory. This is not giving license to anyone involved in any type of sin, from which they're not ready to leave behind, because they will not only get sick and die, but they're in danger of losing their salvation and becoming eternally damned. We all get to decide. He is coming soon!

[@realreeledmitchelljr2101]

Jesus did nothing halfway. Genesis 1 says the evening and the morning were a day! Friday to Sunday morning is a day and a half at best. Jesus died during Jewish time, not our current time. The time started at sunset for a new day. We have been taught wrong all these years. Jesus actually died on Wednesday and was buried before the sabbath, which was the high and Holy Sabbath or the day of preparation (Thursday) during passover, the regular sabbath is still Friday at sunset until Saturday at sunset a full day! Friday to Sunday is not 3 days, and Jesus never lied. He said it would be like Jonah 3 days and 3 nights. It's not Pastor Evans fault, that's what he and all of us were taught and it is wrong!
