Communion is a special time to celebrate the sacrificial death of Christ.
And this month, we take time to celebrate that Christ was Born.
Thus, we have wedded two celebration’s -
The celebration of Christ, our Savior being born.
AND
The celebration of Christ, our savior who died for us.
So, may we celebrate God’s being born to die as our Savior.
Recall the angelic announcement of Christ Birth.
Christ was born, born to be our savior.
And when we contemplate , and what we know of the Gospels
- he was born as the savior who would die for his people.
May we celebrate today both the Birth of Christ and the death of Christ.
Communion is a remembrance of the death of Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world.
Thus, Jesus instituted the practice of the Lord’s Supper.
We are told in the Gospels that we are to take up a cup of juice as a memorial remembrance of his shed blood.
We are to take the bread up as a memorial remembrance of his crucified flesh.
Paul also gave a warning regarding the Lord’s Supper.
Warning
(ESV)
27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
Take time to remember the Crucifixion of our Lord and examine our hearts before God.
CLOSE COMMUNION: It is important that we honor the Lord’s death by keeping communion Holy.
Based on Paul’s teachings we practice close communion.
- That is, we ask that only baptized members of our church or a like-minded church partake in communion.
If you are not a Baptized member of like-minded church, we ask that you let the cup pass.
This insures that only gospel believers are partaking in our communion.
- Also, member or not, if there is a sin, known or unknown, that you need to make right.
We ask that you would allow communion to pass until you have had a chance to deal with that sin.
Both of these are intended to honor the Lord by keeping His communion and our communion fellowship holy before God.
