Transcript
23 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; 24 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.” 25 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.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
1. Communion is an act of faith & worship
The Lord's Supper involves both looking back to the cross
Looking forward to Christ's return
Intimate personal moment, where we examine & reaffirm our faith
It’s worship between me and God
2. Communion is a proclamation
It is a proclamation that Christ died for the sins of all who trust in Him.
It is a proclamation to the promise that Christ will return one day!
It is a proclamation of my faith & position in Jesus
It is a proclamation to the World - the gospel
it is a proclamation to the Spirit realm - Powers & principalities
Communion is powerful, so much more than a ritual!
