Holy Communion
May 26, 2014
‘…This is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ 1 Corinthians 11:24 NKJV
Here are three reasons you need to partake of Holy Communion: (1) To make you grace-minded. No one will ever stand in Heaven and say, ‘Look what Jesus and I have accomplished.’ If you had to pay one cent of your debt of sin, it would make you a co-redeemer with Christ. What an offence to the cross! (Ephesians 2:8-9) Hymnist Horatio Spafford wrote: ‘My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought. My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!’ (2) To keep you sensitive to sin. ‘…Let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself…’ (1 Corinthians 11:28-29 NKJV) You say, ‘If I sin and take communion, does that mean I’m drinking liquid damnation?’ No, it’s the ‘manner’ in which you approach God that counts. You don’t have to avoid the communion cup; you need only confess your sin, then drink deeply with gratitude. (3) To keep you focused on Christ’s return. ‘…I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.’ (Mark 14:25 NKJV) Every communion service brings you one step closer to the greatest communion service of all: the marriage supper of the Lamb in Heaven (Revelation 19:7). Are you planning on being there?
