A devout exhortation to the Holy Communion
The Voice of Christ
Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you,( Matthew xi. 28) saith the Lord. The bread that I will give is My flesh which I give for the life of the world. (John vi. 51). Take, eat: this is My Body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of Me. (Matthew xxi. 26; Luke xxii. 19). He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood dwelleth in Me and I in him. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.(John vi. 51, 63)
