For a meaningful commemoration of Jesus’ sacrifice, Seventh-day Adventists follow the Apostle Paul’s guidance in 1 Corinthians 11 to prepare our hearts with self-examination (vs. 27). He cautions that “whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 11:27, ESV).
While this verse feels stern, all Paul is pointing out is that this is a consecrated time of reflection to take seriously.
“But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup,” he continued in verse 28.
Communion is the perfect time to be thinking about how we can grow in Christ and best honor Him with our lives. If we’re living in faith of what Jesus did and continues to do for us, He counts us as worthy. He wants us to joyfully celebrate the Lord’s Supper.
It’s a privilege to be part of this proclamation. Jesus, our Savior, has given the opportunity for salvation to every person. By His perfect life, His sacrificial death, and His resurrection, we are invited to come to His table, experience His love, and be saved for eternity. Come Commemorate the Life of Jesus and the Rectification of Relationships with us on Saturday, September 14, 2022 at 11 AM!
