Communion:
While we are unable to gather together for communion, we encourage you to take communion in your home. Remember, it's not the actual wafer and cup of juice served each week that makes the act of communion sacred, but it's doing it "In Remembrance of Me." Use items you have at home and gather together as a family around the table to remember the sacrifice Christ made for us.
From the time we were little, our parents and everyone else reminded us to watch for traffic when crossing any street or even a parking lot. “Always look both ways before you cross!” was the common warning. “You don’t want to be hit by a car” so went the rest.
I want to give you a similar warning today. “Always look both ways before you take the Lord’s Supper!”
In the same way we were warned to look first to prevent being injured by an oncoming vehicle, the Apostle Paul warned the Christians in Corinth, “…whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord…”
We might paraphrase his words this way, “Look both ways before you eat and drink. Look upward in reverent fear and respect. Then look inward. See yourself clearly, check for pride and any evil in you.”
There is no part of our worship that brings us as close to heaven as communion. But its blessing is lost if we don’t “look before we cross…”
