through bible study I learned 2 things:
as per scripture, it is not wine to be taken during the Lords supper. it is fruit of the vine, which is grapejuice.
taking the bread and not the fruit if the vine or vice versa is pointless. there is deep meaning to them both.
1 Peter 2:24
who Himself bore our sins in His own BODY on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.
The above scripture actually sums up the meaning of the bread of the Lord’s Supper. His body as referred to in the above scripture is represented by the bread. His body was delivered up to deliver us from sin so that we can live for Him.
Colossians 1:14
in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Ephesians 1:7
in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
The purpose of forgiveness of sins is that we can have life, eternal life. The cup which stands for forgiveness and redemption, also has a flip side or resurrection side to it. The resurrection message of the blood is life, eternal life, or abundant life. The full meaning of the cup, simply stated, is deliverance from death into life.
