10/24/2021

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26 NKJV)

The Church has long disputed how Communion, or the many different names we described it by, works (?) there is an amazing call to remember and we are presented with bread and fruit of the grape vine and suddenly what we are remembering is present with us. Or are we present then? No matter what or no matter who presents to us the elements, as they are called, it is Jesus we receive them from for they are Him. They are the body and blood of Jesus given not just for us but to us! This a continual reminder God came to us and for us because we could not and would not come to God. This is hope and grace!

Creeds: Statements of who God is and who we should be. This is a combination of my Hope and Grace Journals.
