Understanding Communion better
The First Sunday in October is World Communion Sunday. Pastor Kelvin focused Copper Hill Church’s service today around Communion. His message explained some of the meaning behind Jesus’ institution of the sacrament and how it continues to unite us and give us hope today. “This sacrament is a sign of God’s promise that his grace is more than sufficient for our challenges.”
Pastor Kelvin and JoAnne found it comforting to note an interesting comparison. The original Passover took place in individual homes. Yet it united the people of Israel. This year, many Christians will be sharing communion virtually in their own homes, but they will be united by the symbol they are sharing. It points to the source of their unity. They have all been redeemed by the “the precious blood of Jesus, a lamb without blemish or defect” (1 Peter 1:19 NIV).
