Pastor Roland Buck was sound asleep when he felt two hands resting heavily on his shoulders. The grip on his shoulders was so tight that Buck couldn't even move. These two hands lifted him up and sat him on his bed. Then a silhouetted figure in front of him spoke. Pastor, I have a message for you from the Father; a message that He will help you bring to the whole world!
The Holy Spirit said, “Because of the accusations of satan and the daily reminders of sin, failure, and human weakness, you may forget what God has done. You must be reminded; you must remember. God in His wisdom has provided a time and a way for this to be accomplished. This is the purpose of His communion service. A time to remember what Jesus has done. Here He asks us to look upon His body to see your sin and the sins of the world placed upon Him by God, every lie; every sin against yourself, or others; murder, all adultery, all immorality, all dishonesty, all cheating, all rebellion and idolatry; all enmity through witchcraft and Satanism. Yes, everything with which you can be charged is laid on Him. He has become sin for you, bearing in His body the concentrated dregs of the rottenness of billions of people.”
“He points to His body (as you hold in that symbolic, in that broken body), He points to His body, to your sin, and tells you that your sin has already been judged, you are free. As you behold Him smitten of God with the searing stroke of His judgment, you see there the canceled sin of the world.” Jesus felt the fire of God’s wrath so it wouldn’t fall on us.
“With this reminder of your peace with Him, you can speed the message to the world. You can come, you have been accepted. God’s wrath has been turned away.”
Then He asks us to look at Jesus the High Priest, carrying His blood entering the very tabernacle of God in the heavens where the records of sin is kept. And we see the High Priest. He said, “see Him as He sprinkles His blood on the book of broken laws, upon the altar of the broken commandments, thus as a thick cloud blotting out forever the records of anything in heaven that’s written in heaven that you could be charged with.”
And He said, “As we see Him doing that, we see Him bringing to us a new covenant.”
So he said let the Lord sprinkle your life with this truth and it will pull from your conscience, from your minds, those things that would trouble you, and you can be free.
As we observe communion time God asks us to discern, to see this body that was made sin and absorbed the stroke of God's wrath that was directed towards us. He diverted that stroke of judgment and wrath to his own body. God chose that this sacrifice of the Old Testament be burned in order to perfectly symbolize the fiery stroke of His judgment upon his perfect sacrifice Jesus. And so as that body of that sacrifice, that heifer was turned to ashes, all of the sins of that Old Testament time that were placed upon that heifer were burned. And those ashes were held in remembrance, taken and placed in a clean place where they could be recognized as the cleansing and the acceptance, and the mark of acceptance of the people that came and put their faith in that sacrifice.
So ask God to let you see the burned cinders of sins that have plagued you. See not only those things that have been a part of your past, but there are some things as you behold ashes of things that you have not even committed yet that may happen tomorrow as you may be ensnared in some way.
As you observe your communion time would you ask God to help you to see what it really means to see His body? When you see His body you will see your sins are already gone, they're judged. And you can say in your heart, "I am free. I have been accepted." Discern, see His body. And as you see it you will not be a sick Christian. You will be a strong Christian because of what Jesus has done.
