HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE KISSES?

• There are many kinds of kisses

• There are even little chocolate kisses

THERE ARE KISSES OF BETRAYAL

• Like the kiss Judas gave Jesus

• To show that he was the one to arrest

AND THERE ARE KISSES OF FAREWELL

• Like the kisses we give

• To those we are leaving

BUT THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER KIND OF KISS

• A kiss that a parent has for a child

• Like the father gave

• To the prodigal son

THESE KISSES ARE FROM THE HEART

• And are like the kiss

• God’s children might receive

• When they finally come home through Jesus

AND AS KISSES

• Are token of affection

• The bread and the wine

• Are tokens of affection

THEY ARE TOKENS

• Of the love Jesus had for us

• Shown by His willingness

• To give up His life in our place

AND THE TOKENS ALSO SHOW

• The love we feel for Him

• And the dependence we have on Him

• For all He has done;  and all He is going to do

IN PSALM 2:12

• We are told to KISS THE SON

In 1 CORINTHIANS 11:24-25

• We are told to REMEMBER JESUS

• As we take the emblems of communion

• Let us do so this morning
