COMMUNION

There is the traditional concept of the Lord’s Supper when the word communion is mentioned. A time when we partake of the bread and wine and remember all the Lord did to provide us salvation.

But if that becomes all we remember then we are deprived of the great blessing. For there is the intended communion of the soul.

It is different for each of us. At least in terms of how the Lord’s Spirit can and does inspire.

Because we all have those special and unique concepts that are blended in our thinking. They are where we form our image of the Lord.

It is shaped and tailor to our thoughts. A repository of light and shadows we try to cultivate with some level of truth.

If we have any balance in our spirit then the Lord will truly speak to us in terms of our own relationship with Him. What is important for us to know.

Sometimes it is easy to miss out on that part. To get so caught up in the tradition we miss the personal application.

Then we are deprived of the greater blessing. To be denied the joy of reflection in a way that ministers in our lives.

For the Lord is a Living God. Not just name or entity in a book. He hears and sees all we are.

There are those who make this all about sin. In terms of you having to somehow be blameless and worthy when you approach the Lord.

At its core this is more about control. Those who teach such things are mainly concerned with your adhering to their idea of Christianity.

There is of course the warning in terms of not participating if you don’t truly comprehend the purpose. To do so is to show disrespect to the Lord.

But then that is part off the area where so many end up with confusion. For this is suppose to be a time of celebration.

To be a time to truly feel the joy of being saved. And to honor the Lord’s sacrifice with such gratitude.

Along the way it is so wonderful if we learn to listen and discover the things the Lord would have us know. Not just sign a hymn at they end, but truly embrace the song of Heaven.
