Topic: Communion And Remembrance

Christians honor Christ by celebrating communion or the Lord's Supper. We participate in communion not because it is a ritual and commanded of us by Christ, but because we have not forgotten. We come to the Lord's table in reverence and humility because of the sacrifice Christ made for us. We celebrate communion as an act of solemn worship because Jesus paid such a dear price for each of us. As we take the bread and wine into ourselves, we take part of Christ into our heart. He becomes a part of us and we remember Him.

During communion, we remember His teachings, and we strive to live them out.
We remember His life, and we are humbled.
We remember His crucifixtion, and we know we are guilty of it.
We remember that by His grace, we are forgiven.
We remember His death, the darkest moment in human history.
We remember He rose from the dead, the brightest moment in human history.
We remember He bore our sins on the cross, and we are convicted because of our guilt.
We remember He forgives us of our sins, and we feel His love and the freedom it brings.
We remember He has prepared a place for us in heaven, and we have a hope for the future.
We remember that He speaks to our hearts, and we strain to listen to His voice.
We remember that we are blessed in uncountable ways because of Him, and we praise His name.
We remember we are small and frail, and need His love, and He strengthens us.
We remember we fail, we sin, we make mistakes, and we are humbled and He washes us as white as snow by His blood that was shed for us.
We remember so we can rededicate our lives to His service.
We remember so we can more fully care for each other, love each other, and share with each other as members of His family.
