Episode Synopsis

The Lord’s Supper is the very best medicine. We have some powerful medicines in our world today. Medicines that God uses to heal diseases. But when you fill a prescription for a medication, it’s illegal to share that medicine with anyone else. Why? Isn’t medicine a good thing? Yes, but only when it’s used in the right way! The same medicine that saves your life could end the life of someone else. God speaks in a similar way about the Lord’s Supper. For the believer in Jesus who recognizes Jesus’ true body and blood, it’s a powerful blessing that gives us the forgiveness of sins. But for those who don’t believe—or who don’t discern the body of Christ—it doesn’t bring a blessing. It’s a serious thing to sin against Jesus’ body! I hope you’ll listen to this Maundy Thursday sermon about the Lord’s Supper and our church’s practice of closed communion: “The Best Medicine.” May Jesus’ body and blood be for your soul the highest good.
