Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who celebrate Holy Communion. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Believers around the globe share something sacred: the elements of Holy Communion.
The words that follow may be familiar, but they should never be taken for granted.
Scripture speaks for itself in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (ESV) when the Apostle Paul writes:
“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
Think of the common bond among believers. Be mindful. Pray for brothers and sisters who are persecuted for meeting together to take Communion.
