Bebe's interpretation
Jesus’ words here affirm the centrality of communion in the life of a believer. "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes." The act of taking communion is a proclamation of the gospel—the declaration that Jesus’ death on the cross was not only a historical event but the means of our salvation. Every time believers partake in the bread and cup, they are remembering His sacrifice and publicly affirming their faith in His work of redemption. Communion is not just a private act of devotion but a public declaration of the hope Christians have in the death and resurrection of Jesus. It is a declaration that through His death, we have forgiveness, and through His resurrection, we have the promise of eternal life. This verse emphasizes that communion is not only about remembering what Christ has done but also anticipating His return. As we partake in the elements, we proclaim His death and await the day He will come again to fully restore all things.
