Title: What Communion Declares of Jesus’ Coming
Text:
Jesus gave several promises about his future return.
Consider the following:
For the son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels… says And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Probably the most famous of these promises is found in Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that were I am, there ye may be also.
With this understanding, we now note that Communion is also an account that causes us to remember the return of Jesus Christ.
We certainly see the preeminent focus of the blood and the body of Christ; but we also note a time of future celebration with the Lord.
Note what the scriptures says in .
We should listen to the testimony of the Communion.
This event speaks loudly and directs our attention to Jesus Christ in a more comprehensive manner rather than just a compartmental manner.
He has died, risen again, and ascended to heaven; but Jesus is returning!
(1) Communion encourages the acknowledgement of a brief opportunity - till
It is an observance that is temporary in nature.
The Corinthian believers, living for the temporary prestige of wealth and class must be reminded that they have a limited amount of time to show forth the death of Christ in this manner.
For the believers of Corinth to be so selfish and divided showed that they were not as aware of “the hour” as Jesus’ was aware of his hour.
As Paul admonishes the same body of people in , it really is time to awake out of sleep.
Jesus Christ, aware of his time, lived a live that was selfless, and this was plainly manifested in the crucifixion.
This should also ring as a note of encouragement.
In knowing the factor of time to be limited, this should cause them to keep things in perspective of eternity.
For the pains the the Corinthians experience, there is a limited amount of time.
For the worldly success that the Corinthians experience, there is a limited amount of time.
Some will take this to the opposite extreme.
They will see the brevity of time as an opportunity to live all for themselves while they can.
Clearly, it was this lack of proper perspective that was dominating the body at Corinth.
Not only was the sacrifice of Jesus once and for all; but commemorating the body of Jesus through bread and wine is a temporary means until His return where we will see His real body.
Principle:
Every observance should be in consideration of the brief opportunity we have.
