Communion Meditation


I Come to Communion

I come to communion not because I am worthy, not for any righteousness of my own, for I have grievously sinned and fallen short of what by God's help I might have been. I come not because there is any magic in partaking of the symbols of Christ's body and blood. ...

I come to communion, to the Lord's supper, because Christ bids me come.

The God of All Comfort

Five times. In one long sentence of the opening of 2 Corinthians, Paul uses the noun or verb form of "comfort" five times. Perhaps in the previous letter he had written, which may not have been preserved and would be the "sorrowful letter" he mentions in 2:4, great pain had been caused among the Corinthian saints. ...

The Cross is the place to find our deepest and permanent comfort.

WE'RE GOING TO HEAVEN!

While the family and I were in Dallas visiting family, I took my children to Six Flags. It's an amusement park, like Elitch Gardens. And I remember the anticipation my children had just thinking about how much fun it was going to be. We went and had a great day at the park. So much so, that we bought season passes so they could go to Six Flags for free every time we went to Dallas for the rest of this year. ...

Children's excitement on going to an amusement park is like our joy on thoughts of heaven.
