So yesterday we had communion. On the way home my husband and I had an interesting discussion, would love to hear your insights.

The question is this, the blood is easy to see throughout scripture and in the OT law. The blood was used to blot out the sins, cover them, be a barrier between, the price for sin, any number of ways you might want to say it, that is easy. But what about the broken body? What does it represent that Christ gave to us and we need to be reminded of?

"My sins put Him on that Cross" How many times has anyone reminded themselves that their personal sin(s) placed Him on that Cross. Yes, among many but still personal yet forgiven for all sins by He who displayed the Holy Grail...unadulterated "total Love and Righteousness".

Jesus is using a metaphor to teach a lesson. The point is that Jesus didn't just give himself in a spiritual way for us, He gave himself physically. So, not a bone in His body was broken, yet physically He was broken. We do this in remembrance. There may be more to learn from the study of Jesus' broken body, for us, but that's what I believe.

Are not the flesh eating beatings he endured represented by the Cross? Are not the 108 prophecies fulfilled represented by the Cross? Is not the thorny Crown given to Him represented by the Cross? Is not the wound by a spear in His side not represented by the Cross? Was not His death from the wounds of a broken body and the blood that was shed represented by that Cross?

You said"But what about the broken body? What does it represent that Christ gave to us and we need to be reminded of?"

Yet,on that eighth day, His broken body was healed and resurrected defeating death so that many would live an everlasting life.

What He gave us was love, salvation and everlasting life in exchange for a broken body and the shedding of His Blood..

you said:"unfortunately you only focused on the cross which is NOT what I asked...moving on." Thank you for bringing that to my attention!

Yes, I am focused as the Cross that represents everything during those eight days including the Broken Body, the spilt Blood of Jesus Christ, His Burial and the Resurrection from the grave. That Broken Body gave us that and more.

Now, I am moving on!

I am reminded of the things that His suffering gave us, like comfort, empathy for our fragility, example of how to deal with persecution, etc.
