COMMUNION

What is communion, and why do we take it?

“On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.”

1 Corinthians 11:23-25

As followers of Christ, we take communion to honor and remember that Jesus’ body was broken for us on the cross. When we eat the bread and drink the wine or juice, we declare our faith that Jesus is alive, and we will one day be united with Him in Heaven. It’s a symbol of the new covenant Jesus established with His followers—one built on forgiveness of sin and a personal relationship with God.
