The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation Part 38: What Does It Mean to "Eat and Drink" Christ's Body Today?
Dr. Abel Damina
What does it mean to "eat and drink" Christ's body and blood today, according to Dr. Abel Damina? Not a physical ritual, he argues, but a confession: "in spiritual terminology, to eat and drink often is to speak." Since believers are themselves the "one bread" of 1 Corinthians 10, and Christ is the fulfilled substance behind every Old Testament shadow, Dr. Damina teaches that declaring aloud what Christ has already done is how the New Testament believer actually "partakes." This episode of Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion closes out an extended teaching series on the Passover with a practical redefinition of what communion means now.
