Read 1 Corinthians 11:26 – For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements – bread and the fruit of the vine – is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. Communion is a declaration of our desire to walk in a new way!
The Christian walk is not about being perfect. It is about our desire to walk closer to Him. It is not about the arrival of some perfect state we have achieved or been given. It is about our aspiration to reach toward Him in our walk and to become better because of it. Yes, at the new birth we are changed from a sinner to a saint! We are transformed into a new creation by the new birth. Yet we are still in our earth-suit, capable and even prone to sin and shortcomings. So while we can trust Him to keep us, He trusts us to draw near to Him.
