COMMUNION PROCLAIMS

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes . . . But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup (1 Corinthians 11: 26 &28)).

Taking communion is a proclamation of faith.  Taking communion is a proclamation of belief in Jesus Christ the Son of God.  Taking communion is a proclamation of the truth that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and rose from the grave.  Taking communion is a proclamation of our faith that Jesus Christ is coming again.  Taking communion is a proclamation of our faith in Christ, that He is our righteousness in the Day of Judgment.

Communion is a backward look at what Jesus has done for us.  Communion is an honest and inward look at our personal lives, recognizing our sinfulness.  Communion is a forward look to the return of Christ.  Why would taking communion ever become a common thing?

Our Father's Love,
Tom
