Response to Objections to the Body and Blood
Here I defend the Real Presence of Christ in Communion and answer the following ten objections against it:
1--Jesus was only speaking allegorically
2--Jesus was only pulling the wool over their eyes
3--Jesus couldn’t have meant it literally, since the Torah prohibits drinking blood
4--Jesus said, “Do this in memory of me,” so it is nothing more than memorial.
5--Jesus said we are saved by eating His flesh, so He can’t really mean eating flesh
6--Jesus broke bread with the apostles while He was still with us on earth. That could not possibly be His body and blood since He was sitting right there
7--Jesus elsewhere defined bread or food as something else
8--James White’s explanation – the crowds got it right.
9--If that were true, it would repeat breaking His body on the cross and go against Scripture
10--Jesus explained His words as allegorical in verses 62-64

A Prayer for When You Feel Lost - Your Daily Prayer - April 27
When we feel lost, God is our true north. He is the one who can lead us where He wants us. It is so easy to get caught up in listening to the world, so sometimes, it is best to shut it out to create a quiet space for God to work.
