Power in the Blood

Series: Power in the Blood

Summary

Communion connects us to the resurrection power of Jesus (1 Corinthians 10:16; 11:17-30). The practice of communion is a great equalizer and unifier. It reminds us that we all need a savior, regardless of our socio-economic status, nationality, race, or history. We take communion together simply as a community of the forgiven. When we engage in it, we are experiencing the presence of Jesus in a special way (contrary to either extreme of transubstantiation or mere symbol). It positions us before our Heavenly Father to receive power to say no to sin and yes to His ways, to have courage to stay in step with where He is leading us, and to have faith to ask Him to meet every need and desire we have in our lives, even if He says no. We take communion in humility and weakness – and not casually – because we need the power of the resurrection to be and live more like Jesus.
