The True Significance of Holy Communion

As we celebrate Holy Communion we're not just doing a thing that Jesus told us to do. We're participating in the celebration of all that God was and is doing through his Son, Jesus of Nazareth. We do well to believe Jesus' words. We do better by not trying to figure out how to explain his words, or worse, explain them away. We do best when we "do this in remembrance of" all that Jesus has done, is doing, and will ultimately accomplish for us in the life of the world to come.
