Communion

                  Meditations

  

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
  • That reminds you
  • Of something very special –
  • Something very enjoyable ?

MOST PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING

  • That reminds them
  • Of a special time or a special person

IT MIGHT BE A LOCKET

  • That reminds you of a special love
  • Or it might just be a memory
  • Of a special time

PEOPLE LOVE SYMBOLS

  • Because they remind us of things
  • That we treasure

FOR INSTANCE

  • The rock of Gibraltar
  • Reminds us of stability and security
  • The fox symbolized craftiness
  • And a ring reminds us of an unending love

AND SO IT IS WITH THE EMBLEMS OF COMMUNION

  • As we eat of the bread
  • We might hear Jesus say,

This should remind you that I was stretched out upon the cross, giving my body up for your sake.  Please eat this and remember my death until I come again.

AND AS WE DRINK OF THE JUICE

  • We might hear Jesus telling us,

This should remind you that I lost my life’s blood that I gave up so that you could become sinless in it.  Drink and remember how much I love you, and that I will come back for you.

SO, WHO IS JESUS TO YOU?

  • Is He a man you read about
  • Or is He the One who saves you?
  • And, how do you remember Him?
LET US PRAY 
  • As we remember Him
  • As the most treasured of gifts
  • And the ultimate memento of true love
