Communion
I was just having a random thought during communion today.
The act of communion is an act that transcends time and space. When we come to the Communion table we approach it with a multitude of Christians throughout 2000 years and across the globe. Race, creed, and denomination fade into insignificance as we come together. While there might be disputes about what it means to be a Christian they are not important as we gather together, break the bread and drink the wine. We come together in one spirit to remember the Crucified Christ. This is why the sacrements are important and still have relevance to the church.
Hebrews 12:1
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us"
Luke 22:17
"After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, 'Take this and divide it among you.'"
