Why do we have to keep taking Communion? What’s the point?
NLT Student Devotions
Have you ever saved something from a special event because you wanted to remember how great that moment was? Certain items help us remember special moments in our lives.
Before Jesus was arrested and placed on trial, he established a tradition by which his followers could remember him.
Communion (AKA the Lord’s Supper or Eucharist) is that act. Paul reminds us of this in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. (See also Matt 26:26-28.) By taking Communion, we remember how Jesus’ body was broken and his blood shed for all people.
Because Communion is celebrated by believers throughout the world, it is a unifying act. And because we retell the message of Christ’s death, we’re reminded that he plans to return someday for his church.
There are many distractions that can cause us to lose our focus on what really matters in this life. Communion briefly reminds us that real life revolves not around us (surprise!), but around one incredible act of love at a certain time in history
