This past Sunday, we took a look at the ordinance of communion as a part of our Unity of Faith sermon series.  We began by looking at how communion originated from the Old Testament Passover meal.  On the night before Jesus was arrested and crucified, He revealed to His disciples that the Passover Meal, celebrated by Israel for 1500 years, was really pointing forward to how God planned to fulfill His promise through Jesus’s death and resurrection.  
Through Jesus’s sacrifice, God was keeping His promise to rescue us from our burdens, deliver us from our slavery to sin, redeem us and adopt us into His family.  Jesus commissioned the church to regularly celebrate communion as an act of worship as a tangible and symbolic reminder of the death of Jesus on our behalf.   Communion is intended to stir our hearts to remember God’s love for His people and His faithfulness to keep his promises.
