Remember Jesus in Communion: Command #10

Communion is a strange Christian ritual. It sounds uncomfortably like cannibalism. We practice Communion because Jesus told us to, but why did he give us this particular, peculiar instruction? 

 

Communion is not just consuming bread and wine, or juice and a cracker. If you approach it right, it’s a holy experience. 

 

Martin Luther said, “To our eyes Baptism appears to be nothing more than ordinary water, and the Sacrament of Christ's body and blood simple bread and wine, like other bread and wine, and the sermon, hot air from a man's mouth. But we must not trust what our eyes see.”
