Communion: The Blood Changes Everything

This last Sunday we began a three-week series on Communion, and how the importance of this meal will change our church. The blood of Jesus not only forgives you of your sin, but it cleanses you from the guilt of your sin. This is theologically true, but how many of us experience that reality day to day? The blood of Jesus purchased a new covenant reality. Jesus became the sacrifice and washed you with his blood, you have the self-assurance of a child, intimacy with God. You can live a life of triumph, because your source is from another world. Communion becomes an opportunity to place all of yourself under the blood - family, loved ones, emotions, mental world, career, etc. — to really experience on this side of heaven what Jesus purchased for you.
