3 Reasons to Participate in Communion (Lord’s Supper)

1. To make you grace minded. No one will ever stand in Heaven and say, “Look what Jesus and I have accomplished.” If you had to pay one penny of your sin debt, it would make you a co-redeemer with Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast.“
2. To keep you sensitive to sin. 1 Corinthians 11:28-29, “Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. ²⁹ For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.” You don’t avoid the communion cup; you need only confess your sin and then drink deeply with gratitude.
3. To keep you focused on Christ’s return. Mark 14:25, “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” Every communion service brings you one step closer to the greatest communion service of all: the marriage supper of the Lamb in heaven (Revelation 19:7).
