"The Same All Over The World"

Jesus Christ

"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it,

and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is

given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the

new testament in my blood, which is shed for you."

(Luke 22:19-20)

It's the same all over the world. What? A teardrop, a smile, a drop of blood ... and the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ went to the cross and shed His blood for the entire world, for every Nation, kindred and tongue, for all of mankind ... He loves the whole world with the same passion, and His Spirit, when poured out upon all flesh, is manifested with the same power and tongues of fire; it is the same love for His beloved creation; it is "The Same All Over The World."

Holy communion

The tasteless wafer is symbolic of His body broken, tortured, and given for you and me; the cup of the fruit of the vine is symbolic of His blood shed on the cross for all mankind. He said, "Do this in remembrance of Me." And, we do. We come together in worship, repentance, and in unity, we take communion ... remembering ... honoring ... with thankful hearts ... the sacrifice made for the whole world by Almighty God, Jesus Christ our Lord. If not for the Lord giving His life on the cross, we would still have to round up unblemished animals and birds for sacrifice, because "without the shedding of blood," there is no forgiveness of Sin. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ died and bled and rose again. His sacrifice erased man's sin forever ... When we sincerely and honestly ask for forgiveness, our sins are covered and removed by the blood He shed, and they are remembered no more; they are forgiven! "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.." (Romans 8:1) No one can throw stones, no one can judge, no one can point fingers ... the Sins are under the blood!

Jesus Christ paid it all, and all to Him we owe. He lives now and He will come back for us, that where He is, we may be also. He has redeemed us, saved us, washed us, and Romans 8:2 says, "because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Thank You, Lord. We have been set free, and this freedom goes across borders, crosses from Sea to Sea, from Nation to Nation ... to all who will remember ...

It's the same all over the world .. a teardrop .. and it's the same when it falls from the Eyes that see all. He sees all the Sins all at once all around the world ... imagine that? For a Holy God, who loves His creation utterly, it's cause for tears. But, imagine this ... what if He could look down on the whole world "taking communion" and "remembering Him," receiving the wafer and the grape juice as a symbol of His blood and body given for us ... imagine that! You say, "That's impossible." Oh no, over 580 million people have received the Holy Ghost worldwide and counting, over 1/2 of entire Nations are Christian now, and "pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh," as stated in Joel 2:28, is becoming a reality.
