Communion Meditations
Majesty, Glory, and Love
Reading Time: 2 minutes
As we come to the table of the Lord to observe the Lord’s Supper, let us remember with thanksgiving and praise the One who made it possible for us to know the love of our Heavenly Father.
All of It
Reading Time: 2 minutes
As we partake of Communion together, think about those words “all of it.” Give thanks that you are part of the “all” for whom Jesus died and that “all” of your sins have been forgiven through his sacrifice.
An Alternative to Selfies
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Jesus still calls his followers to “deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). Our selfie with him means being, as Paul put it, “crucified with Christ” (Galatians 2:20).
If Blood Could Talk
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Jesus’ blood speaks a “better” word than Abel’s, for Abel’s blood cried out to God for retribution. Jesus’ blood speaks of redemption, of grace and mercy; it announces the good news of God’s forgiveness.
ALONE AND REJECTED
Reading Time: 2 minutes
As we take Communion, let us remember Jesus, who gave everything so we would never be alone or rejected like he was, not even in our darkest nights or our final breaths.
THE THINGS THAT BRING PEACE
Reading Time: 3 minutes
As we eat and drink these symbols of peace, let us continue to celebrate the King who brought us the peace of God through his cross.
A TIME TO SAY AMEN
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The only time many of us may use the word Amen is at the conclusion of a prayer. But think of the word as an appropriate response after partaking of Communion.
COUNTING THE COST
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Add up all it could cost you to surrender your life to Christ and compare it to the tremendous price he paid on that tree and the riches of grace and eternal life he offers.
