Why Do We Take Communion? Series
Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: This week we examine why Christians take communion.
• Since for Paul the elements of the bread and cup are undeniably and inseparably tied to the death of Jesus as manifested in his broken body and shed blood, to handle these elements in an unworthy way is to place oneself “under the same liability as those responsible for that death in the first place Oster, R. (1995). 1 Corinthians (1 Co 11:27). Joplin, MO: College Press Pub. Co.
CONCLUSION
• Communion is a time we need to prepare for even before we enter the doors of the church.
• We need to understand that we are not just taking some juice and eating a piece of unleavened bread. We are making some special proclamations. Whenever we take communion, we need to examine our heart!
