Lord's Supper

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. —1 Cor. 11:26

Many churches celebrate the first Sunday in October as World Communion Sunday. It is a time to observe the Lord’s Supper with a special awareness of celebrating together with our brothers and sisters in Christ around the globe. On this day, being with a community of believers has become very meaningful to me.

One year, however, I found myself in an airport with a long flight ahead and no opportunity to attend church on that day. Sitting alone, I read the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper, along with the passages describing Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion. Then from 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, I pondered the words so often read at communion services: “The Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread . . .” (v.23). With some common elements to represent the bread and the cup, I observed the Lord’s death for us, feeling a deep kinship with those followers of Christ in many places who are unable or forbidden to gather with others in worship.

Whatever your location and circumstances today, may you find joy and strength in remembering the Lord’s sacrifice on the cross. “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (v.26). —David McCasland

When Christians join in blessed fellowship
Commemorating Jesus’ sacrifice,
They sense a common bond of unity
Because for every race He paid the price. —Hess

Celebrating Christ together brings strength and joy.

The reason why i like Holy Communion is because of the remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice. Today Pastor made a good point, while the Lord was focus on what He needs to do later on, the disciples were kinda thinking selfish thoughts, thinking of who's the greatest.

I wont say that this is not present in our churches today, but i thank God for a good reminder, that all of us are bond slaves.

In our kindergarten vision, i cant remember everything but the last paragraph says that we teachers aim to be a lighthouse to all our children, and that, is a major mega responsibility to begin with.

New week is starting, and the theme is transportation. Looking forward to meet my children, praying really hard that i wont keep falling sick.

So much to do, so little time.. =)
