Meditations on Communion

Meditations ON THE lord S SUPPERDO NOT BE INFLUENCED BY THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WRITER, AND WHETHER HIS LEARNING BE GREAT OR SMALL, BUT LET THE LOVE OF PURE TRUTH DRAW YOU TO READ. DO NOT INQUIRE, WHO SAID THIS? BUT PAY ATTEN-TION TO WHAT IS SAID. MEN PASS AWAY, BUT THE WORD OF THE lord ENDURES FOREVER. - THOMAS KEMPIS THE IMITATION OF CHRISTON CELEBRATIONS (January 5) New Year s Eve and New Year s Day are traditional times of celebration for us. Have you ever thought what the word celebrate means? We always want to celebrate with a crowd of people -- usually friends and acquaintances. Celebrating by yourself just doesn t seem to have the same feeling. We need a reason to celebrate. We celebrate the start of the year; we celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays that roll around once a year -- but always, there is a reason for our celebration.

It’s important to see that symbolic communication is used where the message involves the total life of those doing the communicating. Such a communication is found in the Lord’s Supper. The bread and the cup are symbols. Simple things; like a ring, or a flag, yet these are packed with meaning. They represent the body and blood of our Lord.
