I could never understand the absolute ...BEAUTIFUL. I could never understand the absolute silence and, well, depression that seemed to hang over the congregation during the Lord's Supper. Even a good ol' country boy preacher would turn into a "propa English schola" when he announced that "we will be partaking of (dramatic pause) The Lord's Supper." All the adults got that holy look going, while all the kids wondered why grown-ups got all weird over snack time.<BR/>Sometimes we can get so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good.<BR/><BR/>A few of my friends are coming over to sing, and we'll be having Communion in Spirit-- and with cinnamon toast.God's Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561357217539705033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1141829581394971382006-03-08T09:53:00.000-05:002006-03-08T09:53:00.000-05:00Does a bird drop down with the word.

I...I could not agree more with this post, <B>Codepoke</B>. It was a coupla years ago that I came to understand a few things about the Lord's Supper.<BR/><BR/>It is most definately meant to be shared as a much larger meal with a bunch of Jesus lovers at someone's house (or at a park, or a hotel, or <I>anywhere</I>)!<BR/><BR/>I also came to the conclusion that it is <I>the most important aspect of our Christianity</I>. No, not just our Sundays. But our entire Christian lives. <BR/>Here's a heavy revvy for ya':<BR/>In the OT there were many things that the Lord expected folks to do in order to keep their focus and memories on Him. (I believe you could count at least a dozen and then some.) <BR/>But in the NT, the only thing He wants us to do is to take time to remember Jesus and the cross; and that should be enough. If it is not, then we are doing something wrong. <BR/><BR/>I will back that last statement up with the passage that triggered my whole thinking about the Lord's Supper:<BR/>1 Cor. 11:28-30 <BR/> <I>A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. [29] For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. <B>[30] That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.</B></I><BR/><BR/>My conviction is that it is our focus on the Lord's Supper that keeps us faithful, excited, healthy, and alive (whether or not there is bread and wine in front of us).<BR/><BR/>Anytime you come on up the NH, <B>Codepoke</B>, feel free to look me up and I'll make sure we share in the Lord's Supper.

I have to admit that the job I have in the church some times takes away from what the cup and the bread are about. (the bread is a very tiny piece of cracker, not that I believe it matters) It is what is in our hearts. I do regret the loss of sharing the Lord's supper. When we gather togeather as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ we take more time at the table to praise the fact that Jesus died for us. Do I believe that folks can feel that with a waffer and a tiny cup on Sundy mornings? Yes. Do I each and every time? To be honest No. I have buttons to push knobs to turn and I have to focus on the people about to sing or preach. I try to back myself up when I can and praise Him after. If we sat at a table and took the time to really give God what is due. WOW!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
