Jesus,
the Living Bread
John
6:51, 54-57
I am
the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live
forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
Shedding the Light
The Holy Eucharist is
the summit of all prayers. We come together as one people of God in a special
celebration of faith, love and generosity.
In the history, the
early Christians gathered together in order
to worship and thank God despite of the
different sufferings & persecutions they have experienced
from the hands of their persecutor.
They received the
boldness of faith in order to transcend beyond the injustices and tribulations
of life. They never fail to worship God. They never fail to establish a
community of believers.
That communion and
fellowship was the moment of Koinonia.
In the Scripture, it
was clearly said that Jesus is the Living Bread, the Eucharistic Lord of all.
He is the satisfaction of man's body and soul. He is the source of eternal
love, security, hope and happiness. All things originates in Him, all came into
being and life because of Him.
Jesus is ever present
in the Eucharistic celebration. He is the perfect gift or offering who ransomed
us from the slavery of sin. He is the only begotten Son of
the Heavenly Father who continuously bless and protect us.
He allowed himself to experience suffering and death in order to remind us that
in every life's challenges, we can continue and overcome it. He gave His life
for us in order to make us a new creation, a new created being who received the
greatest gift of all - God's unconditional love.
