Communion: Take it apart... Common union. It is something that all people who believe in Jesus Christ can share together. It is something that binds us in common action. And whether we believe in a physical blood and body or a symbolic blood and body we still take the action as one of the most serious things we do in our lifetime. And we should.
Check out 1 Corinthians 11:24-30
- 23 For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread
- 24 and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”
- 25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it.”
- 26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.
- 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
- 28 That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup.
- 29 For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself.
- 30 That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.
Communion is a vital part of the Christian walk
- It is commanded to do
- It is a symbol of what Christ did for us
- It is a time for examination
- It is a time of proclammation
This is still not done so keep coming back.
