I thought that I would post my communion thoughts here. This provides a good "journal" space for me...

COMMUNION THOUGHT & PRAYER – 19 MAY 2019

As we think about communion, in that upper room, Peter, like me and perhaps like you, declared his fealty to Jesus. What did Jesus lovingly tell Peter? “Before the rooster crows you will deny me 3 times.”…and Peter did…we as humans fail Jesus, but the GOOD NEWS, the HOPEFUL and AMAZING NEWS is that Jesus NEVER fails us!

Out of all the moments in time, all the cultures, continents, and nations, God has placed us here, right now to take part in His glorious plan…and what is that plan? Jesus said in Matt 16:16: “I will build My church & the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

So, no matter if today you are in a valley, a plateau or a mountaintop, remember Jesus & His sacrifice for you and me. Remember His victory over death itself, let us approach the table, with a sense of LOVE, JOY, HOPE & VICTORY!

Would you pray with me?

In PHILIPPIANS 2:10 we read that God Himself exalted Jesus, and that “at the name of Jesus EVERY knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” As we remember Jesus going to the cross we should remember His love, joy, and victory over death itself and we should be filled with hope.

Father God, thank You for loving us enough to send Your precious Son, Jesus.

AMEN
