Communion

Communion

Communion is the one act of worship that the Lord personally gave specific instructions to His disciples about how it should be observed and practiced. We have vague or general outline of scriptural patterns in other acts of worship. I believe we have scriptural examples, but in this specific instance of worship, perhaps one of the more important issues of worship that we sometimes take too much for granted, the Lord gave very specific directions. We find the record of His personal implementation of the Supper in the gospels. We find a record inActs 20:1-38where Paul, on his way with the collection for the poor saints in Jerusalem, stops in the port near Ephesus. He calls the elders of the church together and we find the church coming together on the first day of the week to break bread. Elder Joe Holder
