back for our physical healing and from His head and across His face for our emotional healing. The completion of atonement was the cross where He was offered as God’s Passover Lamb to bring spiritual healing, thus fulfilling Isaiah 53 and completing the threefold plan of atonement for the spirit, soul, and body, and bringing man back into relationship with God. The Meal That Heals After the ascension of Christ, the Christian church recognized that Christ became our Passover: “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” 1 Corinthians 5:7 Christ fulfilled Passover; therefore, He eliminated the necessity of a yearly sacrificial lamb (Hebrews 9:26). The cup and the unleavened bread became a symbol of the completed work accomplished at the death of Christ. The Christian church received this cup and bread to celebrate the finished work of Christ. The Apostle Paul informed the church at Corinth about the importance of having the believer receive the Lord’s Supper: “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. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord death till he comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 In most Protestant churches, the Lord’s Supper, or Communion, is conducted once every month, once every six months, or perhaps only once a year. Sadly, some congregations have not celebrated Communion for many years. Yet, Communion holds the key to walking in supernatural health and deliverance for the body, mind, and spirit.
