Communion

It’s not very often that we hear a sermon on Communion. It’s not only important for us adults to know why Communion is important but it’s important for our children to know why we take it, who is it for, and What is the meaning of Communion.

Shouldn’t we as teachers tell our children that communion is more than crackers and juice? It is a consecration (the separation of oneself from things that are unclean, especially anything that would contaminate our relationship with God). It is an event that is shared among fellow believers who had buried their sins in the watery grave of baptism and devoted their self to God who will do His work in us.

Acts 2:42 “They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer.”

I Corinthians 10:16 “Is not the cup of blessing which we bless sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ?”

I Corinthians 11:24 “and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “this is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

I Corinthians 11:26 “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
