and drink and live forever
The life of
Jesus received through the Holy Spirit. Cross at the
heart of the reversal process. Gathered wheat, crushed,
sifted, baked, gathered grapes, crushed -made into wine.
Jesus crushed to give us life.
Every time
we take communion we picture receiving the life of
Christ through His Holy Spirit. God makes everything
clear and tangible.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ-cure for
doubt. Why God demands faith. Law of reversal.
