    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 9, 2015
     | 9,185 views

    When we receive the bread and wine during Holy Communion, we are holding Christ’s very body and blood, which was nailed to the cross and poured out for our forgiveness. We have seen it with our own eyes and felt it with our own hands and on our tongues.

The coming of Christ involved all manner of waiting on God. A young maiden, a dying man and an old widow all ...read more

    There are I believe three important character traits that we as Christians would do well to adopt for ourselves in the character of Mary the Mother of Jesus 1. Her humility 2. Her commitment to God and 3. Her bravery.
