Communion and Unity

When a believer takes communion or the Lord's table do you realize that it is a show of unity with your fellow believers? Not just those you are in fellowship with at your local assembly, but with believers throughout the globe. God wants us to celebrate Him and through the Lord's death and resurrection one is able to do just that. Remember Jesus was the one who started the Lord's Supper the night before He was betrayed by Judas. This is something that is not a church ritual started by men, but something began by the One who went to the cross for us. There is life in the communion cup and bread. There is health and deliverance in the Lord's table. The unity of believers is brought together through this celebration. The body of Christ needs one another. None of us can make this thing happen without one another. Just like ancient Israel which used the Passover as a spring board to freedom from Egyptian bondage Jesus is using the Lord's table to propel us beyond the snare of death, hell and the grave. So the next time you come to take the Lord's table remember that what you are partaking in is not something that is a church ritual, it is something established by the Lord himself on the night of His betrayal. Join yourself to Him. Worship Him in this act and watch as God moves mountains for you.
