Exo 29:27 "Consecrate those parts of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons: the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented.

Mat 26:14 Then one of the Twelve--the one called Judas Iscariot--went to the chief priests
Mat 26:15 and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty silver coins.
Mat 26:16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
Mat 26:17 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
Mat 26:18 He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'"
Mat 26:19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
Mat 26:20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.
Mat 26:21 And while they were eating, he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."
Mat 26:22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely not I, Lord?"
Mat 26:23 Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
Mat 26:24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."
Mat 26:25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "Yes, it is you."
Mat 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
Mat 26:27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.
Mat 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Mat 26:29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."
Mat 26:30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial
Mat 26:31 Then Jesus told them, "This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: "'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
Mat 26:32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."
Mat 26:33 Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will."
Mat 26:34 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times."
Mat 26:35 But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same.
Gethsemane
Mat 26:36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
Mat 26:37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
Mat 26:38 Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
Mat 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
Mat 26:40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
Mat 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
Mat 26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."
Mat 26:43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
Mat 26:44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
Mat 26:45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mat 26:46 Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
Psa 31:19 How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
Psa 31:20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.
Psa 31:21 Praise be to the LORD, for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.
Psa 31:22 In my alarm I said, "I am cut off from your sight!" Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.
Psa 31:23 Love the LORD, all his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back in full.
Psa 31:24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Prov 8:14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power.
Prov 8:15 By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just;
Prov 8:16 by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth.
Prov 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
Prov 8:18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
Prov 8:19 My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.
Prov 8:20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
Prov 8:21 bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
Prov 8:22 "The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;
Prov 8:23 I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began.
Prov 8:24 When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water;
Prov 8:25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,
Prov 8:26 before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world.
Mat 26:26-28, “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
Dear brothers and sisters,
Loving Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today let us see about the importance of taking the “Holy communion” and its benefits in our lives. The Church is the body of Jesus Christ and He is the head of the church. Right in the church Jesus has kept this ordinance to be followed. Also we should not neglect going to the assembly of God as in Heb 10:25, “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
The holy communion is a must for all the believers who follow the Lord Jesus Christ; it is not an option as some of us do, for Jesus had told like this in John 6:47 & 48, “I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. John 6:51, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." This is the thing Jesus taught his disciples in the first century, but this is the same for the New Testament believers too, for this is the command of Jesus.
Now let us see its importance and benefit as per the above verse. Mat 26:26-28, While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. By taking part in the Holy Communion we have certain benefits they are as follows: -
May the Lord our God help us to know the importance of Holy Communion and take part init until He comes back. In doing so we are remembering his death. So let us not be careless in this area, let us remember his death quite often. Amen.
(Rom 15:5 NIV) May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus,
(Eph 4:3 NIV) Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
(Eph 4:13 NIV) until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
(Col 3:14 NIV) And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Psa 31:24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
6. Things to thank God [To express our Gratitude towards God by our Praises]
Psa 31:21 Praise be to the LORD, for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.
7. Pray for this country and the People that God may bless this Place through the Holy Spirit.
