The Table of the Lord-Communion

Communion serves very little or no purpose if we do not first believe who we are in Christ and Christ being in us. The conclusion of this is that communion is the reality of who I am and what Christ is to me. My understanding thereof should no longer make it just a symbol of the body and life of Christ. My physical pair of eyes is not a symbol of my ability to see in the flesh but rather a real part of me with a purpose. There is a purpose in me being in Christ. That purpose is always Christ ordained and for the fulfillment of His purpose. Together with Christ I then become pleasing unto God!

It serves the believer nothing should he partake of the Table as some symbol. The believer is the life of Christ, which the unbeliever is not!

My remembrance is built into my consistency in partaking thereof! The more I partake the more I become aware of who I am!

My consistency must surely make me more aware of my purpose here on earth. That purpose is not fulfilled just by knowledge but together with Him being in me. I am unable to fulfill any divine plan unless Christ is in me.

Yet before purpose, I must have the knowledge of who I am! And then is my purpose fulfilled.

I am in Christ and Christ is in me!

The Church

Should it not then be obvious that my fellow members are now a part of me if they too are in Christ. The purpose of me being here on earth cannot be truly fulfilled if I am not working in commune with the church. My hands and feet serves very little purpose should my eyes be absent from my body. Or my eyes serves very little purpose to the rest of my body should I be able to see only dimly. The church walks with a limp if she refuses to see my significance. The race is hindered and my fellowmen are deprived in many ways!

The Importance of Prayer

The highest level of prayer must surely be when His body gathers together to pray. Yet again it benefits very little if we do not together agree regarding our requests and the hope of fulfillment. Community of the church is the very essence of the prayer taught by Jesus. Therefore the prayer begins with "Our Father" Is this not the reason why "a cord of three strands is not quickly broken"

Let us pray!

Dear Lord open my spiritual eyes to see your purpose of me being on earth. Then help me to know that I am unable to fulfill this without my fellow believers. May those who do not see my significance in the church become aware of this. Open their spiritual eyes I pray.

Amen!
