THE WONDERS OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
THE WONDERS OF THE HOLY COMMUNION!
The word COMMUNION is called in the Greek original translation – ‘KOINIONIA’ – which means – FELLOWSHIP. 1 John 1:3-7.
And we are called into this FELLOWSHIP – 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30. This fellowship is sustained and maintained by the blood of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord King – 1 John 1:3-10 and by the love of the brotherhood – John 15:9-14; John 13:34-35; 1 John 3-5:21.
AT REDEMPTION TWO THINGS HAPPENED:
1. A restoration of RELATIONSHIP with God and
2. A restoration of FELLOWSHIP with God
Both were lost at ADAM in Eden – Genesis 3; 1 Timothy 2:14-15.
What makes our RELATIONSHIP to be cordial and refreshing is the devotion of FELLOWSHIP, that is, the communion with God firstly and, with one another. Hence Christian FAITH without the act of communion is a dead practice. It turns the whole concept into rituals and cults as we see in many places today which are called Church or seminary centres when there are already supposedly spiritual cemeteries. Hence, we must crave and create a cordial fellowship with God to keep our relationship with Him alive and ablaze. This we can do through love for God and for our beloved brethren in true unity of the Spirit – Psalm 133; Romans 8:28-39; 1 John 4:7-21.
