Question
Answered through video contribution
Reading Matthew, chapter 26, verses 26 and 27, prophetically speaking, why did the Lord Jesus bless the bread and give thanks for the wine?
Answer: The bread represents the Body of Christ, the church, which is why the Lord Jesus blessed the bread. The wine represents the life given to us by the Holy Spirit, which is why the Lord Jesus gave thanks for the wine.
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and have it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.”
Matthew 26:26-27
Question
Answered through video contribution
Reading Matthew, chapter 26, verses 14 to 30, describe the prophetic moment of the night (betrayal and religion) in comparison with the moment we are living.
Answer: The “night Jesus was betrayed” is the prophetic expression that points to the moment before the rapture of the Church. At this hour of the night, the faithful church faces the same betrayal as those
who left the midst of the faithful to ally themselves with the religious.
Message from pastor Gedelti Gueiros:
The first question is linked to death and resurrection. The supper took on a special meaning. The Lord blessed the bread. It was the body. The body was broken, ground. When the body was ground, the result was wine, the Holy Spirit.
What is the significance of the cup? It was common when a traveler arrived at a house from a journey to ask for lodging. If
the owner of the house took a liking to the traveler, he would give him a drink from his cup. The meaning of this act was that they would be united forever. They would be united in death and in life.
That is what the cup meant. It was the union of blood, for death and for life.
Experience: A young woman was dying of cancer. And the Lord had told us that we would be notified of it at dawn. That morning, we were woken up and I was asked to be at her house. I got ready and when I reached the corner of the

house I could already hear the screams. I got to the house and the doctor was there. The neighbors were already used to the noise. When I arrived and she saw me, she calmed down. I got closer to her and held her hand. She no longer had a leg, as it had been amputated. Her hair had already fallen out. I went to pray for her and said: “I’m going to pray for you and you will understand what God is going to do with you now, whether you live or die”. I held her hand and prayed for her. When I’d finished, she tried to get up, but she couldn’t because she was unwell. She smiled after the prayer. Her parents asked her why she was smiling. She said: “because the angel of the Lord has come for me”.
It is the life that man needs for eternity. Supper has a different meaning for us. The Lord’s supper is life.
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me [...].” Galatians 2:20
The blood speaks of resurrection. And the life of the believer is death and resurrection. You died for your interests, then you start a new life. If it’s not your will, I don’t want it. That’s what prayer is: the desire to do God’s will and not for God to do your will.
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 The prayer is for God to do his will in your life. We are dying and resurecting. Died yesterday, resurrected. The Lord has forgiven me - resurrection. That’s why you need to confess your sins.
Our sonship is in the blood,
through the Holy Spirit. That’s why, when we win a battle, we rejoice.
“For I have received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread.” I Corinthians 11:23 (added emphasis)
This is the night we are living through. There is a Christianity that has betrayed Jesus in this spiritual night. For this Christianity, Jesus is no longer the shepherd and the savior. The Jesus we believe in is the one who resurrected, the Jesus of the supper we attended. The lamb is alive. It’s the sounding of the trumpet. We partake of the cup to tell the world that the Lamb is alive.
May the Lord Bless us.
Pr. Gedelti Gueiros President of the Maranata Christian Church
