Each time you and I take part in the celebration of Communion, each bite of broken bread and each sip of wine (or Welch’s), celebrates the new accord, or the New Covenant Jesus secured for us that first Easter weekend. He died, was buried in that death, and rose from the short-term tomb to end the enemy’s rule of death and chains. It is a totally new and unique way to relate to the Creator – no more animals on the altar or lists to get God’s favor.
His body broken, His blood spilled, to give us the grace gift of redemption and restoration!
Sunday’s Communion Celebration was extraordinary. The Father’s Presence met us as we met in small groups around the cup and loaf. The moment was both communion and cleansing.
It’s a celebration and His presence is near in our obedience (no, I don’t believe the bread and wine become the body and blood) – and as a part of our worship, we draw near to Jesus as He comes near to His kids.
You have been reconciled to God, not just to quit sinning or to adhere to a legal standard. You have been reconciled to fulfill the grand adventure of your calling to make your life one that invites your world to be reconciled to Jesus, too.
Join in the worship of the Redeemed with us Sunday!
