Ik las daarnet een ander topic. waar werd gevraagd waarom veel mensen niet deelnemen aan het avondmaal....
Shaul geeft uitleg:
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1Cr 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Cr 11:25 After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the NEW COVENANT * in my blood:
(Covenant -Testament
*=diatheke=1) a disposition, arrangement, of any sort, which one wishes to be valid, the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will
2) a compact, a covenant, a testament <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
a) God's covenant with Noah, etc)
in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
1Cr 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
1Cr 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
1Cr 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.
>>>>
1Cr 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
>>>>
1Cr 11:30 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
Dit laat ons zien dat Het Avondmaal een verbond is , en niet een testament waarin de erfenis automatisch aan ons toekomt.
Jezus geeft ons immers de opdracht in de uitspraak : Ga heen je zonden zijn je vergeven , maar ga niet door met je zondige gedrag.
Het is dus niet een vrijblijvend iets wat ons door Yeshua is gegeven ,maar ook iets waar wij ons van ons deel van onze verantwoordelijkheid bewust moeten zijn . Wij willen immers bij Hem horen .
Hij is onze Meester en onze Bondgenoot. Wij behoren Hem trouw te zijn en Zijn Licht uit te dragen , Van Zijn Belofte aan de rest van de wereld te getuigen.
Als je dit alles wel weet , maar je wilt je niet binden aan dit verbond dan kun je wel naar een kerk gaan , maar dan ben je wel veroordeeld.
Lees bijv wat YESHUA zegt hierover in John 6
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jhn 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Jhn 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Jhn 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Jhn 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Jhn 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
Jhn 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
Jhn 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Jhn 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?
Jhn 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Jhn 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jhn 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Jhn 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Jhn 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Jhn 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
Jhn 6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Jhn 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard [this], said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
Jhn 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
Jhn 6:62 [What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Jhn 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.
Jhn 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
Jhn 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
>>>>>>>>>********
Jhn 6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
WAAROM VERLIETEN ZIJ HEM?????
Omdat ze zich bewust werden dat het een verplichting zou zijn , een verbond, waarvoor zij een keuze zouden moeten maken !!!!
Telkens wanneer wij deelnemen aan het avondmaal moeten wij ons bewust zijn van onze verantwoording in ons handelen en doen tov God en onze medemens. Als wij een open zonde hebben staan , moeten wijdie eerst goedmaken alvorens wij aan het avondmaal deel mogen nemen.
.......
Want Shaul zegt nogmaals in ! Corinth 11:
1Cr 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Cr 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
