Our message today is about Communion. In the final hours leading up to His crucifixion and death on the cross, there were many things that Jesus could have spent His time doing. What He chose to do was to spend His last hours sharing a meal with His disciples, washing their feet, and connecting closely with them. This is the context for the first Communion. Today, as we take the bread and wine and remember His sacrificial death on the cross, we too can draw close to Jesus, connect with him deeply and receive the strength that we need to live our lives in service to Him and His kingdom.
