The communion meditation today is based on a passage of Scripture from the New Testament, Philippians 2:5-8. In this passage of Scripture, the Apostle Paul calls the Philippian Christians to imitate the mindset of Christ Jesus in their interpersonal relations. The Apostle Paul then showed them how Jesus volunteered to take the form of a servant even though He had every right to refuse it as He existed in the form of God. And as a servant, He took on human likeness as a man and became obedient to death, dying on a cross, to save from our sins. As we partake of the bread and drink the fruit of the vine from the cup, we remember Jesus and the personal sacrifice He made to save us. May we all adopt His mindset in our interpersonal relationships with each other. All Scripture quotations are from the New International Version (NIV) and are used with permission.
