1 Corinthians 11:29 New International Version (NIV)
29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the
body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
The Lord's Supper is a precious time for Christians. We
remember the incredible sacrifice Jesus made to save us from our sins. We also
realize that when Christians gather together and take the Supper, we are the
Body of Christ, his physical presence on this earth (cf. 1 Corinthians
10:17). Whatever happens to one of us matters to the rest of the Body. Every
time we take the Supper, let's remember the other members of Christ's Body
around us. Let's also give thanks for Jesus, who offered his body and blood at
Calvary to save us. At the same time, let's commit to be the presence of Christ
in the world and do his work.
Thought for today:
Am I mindful of the “body” during both grace before a meal and during
communion? What does communion represent for me?
