What is so important about Holy Communion?
1 Corinthians 11:23-26:For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat;this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Think about this, my friends. You must think about how the significant Holy Communion or as people would call it "The Lord's Supper". Jesus had instituted the Lord's Supper on Matthew 26:26-30, telling His disciples to partake of the Blessed Bread and the Blessed Wine. The Lord's Supper, along with water baptism, is the sacrament ordained by God. When you take communion, you must understand that the bread represents Jesus Christ and how He was beaten and pierced on the Cross for our sins. Why is it that the bread represents the body of Jesus Christ? Because, Jesus said that He's the Bread of Life. The wine (we use grape juice as a substitute for wine) is the representation of how Jesus shed His blood on Calvary for the remission of our sins. Think about why do you do what you do. Don't take communion as something ritualistic and natural, but take it in the spiritual sense.
When you partake in Communion, what you're doing is that you're basking in God's glory and you are expressing your faith. Like water baptism, partaking in Communion is an outward sign of an inner work and within partaking in Communion, you are urging to the whole wide world to taste and see that the Lord is good. Also, when you take Communion, you need to reflect the sacrifice that Jesus made on Calvary for your salvation. In addition to that, remember that there is power within taking communion. How can God move through communion? Communion is a point of contact that God ministers His healing power through. Communion is also a meal that heals. When you go through an illness, I encourage you to take Communion in addition to the medical treatments you're undergoing. Why? Because when you take communion, you need to watch and see how God moves. Also, Passover has a prophetic connotation because Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb being sacrificed and He delivers people from Egypt to Exodus.
Also, it's important to know order and discipline within partaking in communion for God's word says that things need to be done in decency and in order. If you read 1 Corinthians 11:27-34, it tells you how you need to examine yourself before partaking communion. What do you mean to examine yourself? You need to evaluate the sins you have committed and the oughts you have against the brethren. It's a time for you to work these things out because you don't want to partake communion in an unworthily manner bringing damnation to yourself. Only those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and are members of the bible-believing church in right standing can partake in communion. Yes, everyday is a time to repent and ask God for forgiveness. But Communion days are also times to repent and ask God for forgiveness before partaking in communion. By the way, children who don't understand the significance of communion should not partake in communion because we don't want them to treat communion as a playtoy and disrespect something that is truly sacred. Remember, you must understand that it's important to understand why do you partake in communion before partaking in it. You don't want to partake the communion blindly as a tradition of men. Communion is not a mere ritual, but it's a spiritual significance. Never underestimate the power of Holy Communion.
I hope that this message is a blessing to you and if you enjoy it, say amen. Also, feel free to bring your insights.
