Communion is a sacred time during our worship services where we come together as a community of believers to remember and celebrate what Christ did for us so that we may have eternal life – we remember His life, death and resurrection. When taking part in communion and receiving the symbolic elements of Christ’s body and blood, we are cautioned to do so with a posture of self-examination, always honoring the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:24 (NIV)
And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
