Why we must take the bread and wine in remembrance of Jesus Christ? 

Zechariah 2:12 And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 

When I was reading these chapters from Zechariah I was amazed to know that God will inherit Judah’s possession. I wondered if all of the earth belongs to God, how is it that He will be inheriting something which is His own. God’s word is true and I wanted to know what this verse actually meant. 

God in His great mercy revealed it through His word which astonished me on realizing the truth. 

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 

Now God’s Word which became flesh was without His actual glory which He had when with the Father in Heaven. It was made in the likeness of earthly flesh which needs nourishment to grow. The God's Word which became flesh was nourished with the blood of Mary. 

Mary did not have union with Holy Spirit as some say. Her egg was not used. She was carrying the blood of David as her inheritance. 

God blessed the seed of Abraham and the seed of David. What is a seed in the bible? 

According to the Book of Genesis chapter 1, God created the heavens and the earth in six days and on the third day He created vegetation on the land which produced seeds. On the fifth day He created living creatures that moved in water and flew in the sky. Now God blessed them to be fruitful. But God did not bless them to bear seeds in them unlike the vegetation. And on the sixth day He created Man and Woman and blessed them to be fruitful. 

When we see a seed we understand that it has life in it that is dormant. So God has kept the life of plant in its seed for next generation. The seed though equal to a dead thing is able to spring back to life after having right conditions around it. 

Therefore when God is talking about the seed of Abraham or David it means something which is as good as dead but has life in it. 

Leviticus 17:14 The life of every creature is in its blood. That is why I have said to the people of Israel, “You must never eat or drink blood, for the life of any creature is in its blood.” So whoever consumes blood will be cut off from the community. 

Bible says life of any creature is in its blood. Therefore blood is the seed of all living creatures. Rest all things like sperm, ovum are not the seed. 

Coming back to the point of focus that God will inherit the possessions of Judah we understand that He is going to take something which belong to only Judah and not God. God made Man in His likeness and gave authority over all of the earth. But because of man’s disobedience death came to man and all living creatures along with him. And earth was cursed because of his disobedience. 

Also death is not common to God. He is the source of Life. If God must inherit something from Man it must be which has death in it. God does not have death in Him. 

Blood of living creatures loses its life and dies because of the sin which acts through flesh. 

The seed of David, the blood which is prone to death in humans was inherited by Jesus... but because He conquered over sin in the flesh and destroyed the one who has the power of death, His blood will neither be killed and nor will die. 

Bible tells us in Romans 8:3 that Jesus condemned sin in the flesh. 

The blood inherited from David that is in Jesus Christ's flesh can never be killed by the sin and now it has become the fountain of life forever. 

Whoever takes this blood will also live like Jesus Christ if taken with belief. 

The seed of Abraham and the seed of David like a mustard seed when sown in the flesh of God’s Word became a big tree in which many birds took shelter. We are the branches of that tree and we bear fruits. 

John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 

That is the reason when we take the bread (flesh) of Christ, it is God's Word by which we live and also take the blood (wine) of Jesus Christ inherited from humans which cannot die in Christ which makes us men with immortal bodies. So we leave behind the bodies made of dust and take on the flesh of Word. We become children of God who live forever in the Kingdom of God having both the properties of God and Man. 

I Thank Almighty God our Father for His great mercy through which He brought us Salvation and gave us the privilege to be adopted into His Kingdom as co-heirs of Lord Jesus Christ. I shall always take this true bread from heaven and wine from earth and thank always our Lord Jesus Christ for all that He has done for me and for the mankind. 

In Jesus Holy Name, 

Amen.
