"But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's Kingdom." (Matthew 26:29)
Transubstantiation, Consubstantiation, or whatever-- I gladly respond to, "Take, eat; this is My body. Then He took the cup, and gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you.'"
I just know that Jesus Christ came to live in this mortal body when I was a little child. On that day, I receive Jesus' Resurrection Life, Eternal Life. As the old hymn says, "I am my Lord's and He is mine. I "feed on Him" daily.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I so look forward to drinking, "of this fruit of the vine..," with You in "That Day." Amen.
