| | Eligibility for Communion by John Murray
Topic: Communion | | Description: Who is eligible to partake of the Lord's Supper? The bread and wine are not only signs but also seals of our communion with Christ; this text gives four basic characteristics of those who are in communion with Christ: 1) they are called by God the Father into relationship to Christ, by an efficacious summons that initiates our possession of salvation, so that we belong to Christ; 2) they are called to be saints, everyone united to Christ by faith is a saint, consecrated to God and pure in character. What are our controlling ambitions with respect to holiness? 3) They exhibit obedience of faith, an enduring commitment to Christ as absolute Lord, whole-souled devotion that brings every thought captive to Christ; 4) they are beloved of God, who delights in those who reflect his own perfections, by nature we have nothing but God in sovereign grace makes us after his image in holiness. We must not drag down these standards of eligibility for communion which have been set by God.

| | (The Mission and Ministry of the Holy Spirit) The Communion of the Holy Spirit by David Wilkerson
Topic: Communion
Scripture(s): 2 Corinthians 13:14 | | Description: 2 Cor. 13:14 is the passage featured. Bro. Wilkerson carefully explains why the Holy Ghost was sent, and how to commune with him. It is much more simple than most think, yet much more vital to allow this communion, even hungrily seek it, than we realize. Jesus would not have asked the Father to send us a Comforter he knew we wouldn't need. We need to know why he was sent, why he dwells in us, and allow him to do what the Father sent him to do.

| | Communion: He comes to fill us with His love and make us like Himself by Hans R. Waldvogel
Topic: Communion
Scripture(s): Revelation 1:7, Matthew 25:6 | | Description: “Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him.” I thought tonight, “Isn’t it wonderful that you don’t have to crucify the Son of God?” The Bible talks about those who crucify Him by “sinning willfully after they have received the gospel.” And no man can come by the cross of Christ: either you accept the blessing of it and are crucified with Him, or you crucify Him again. Strange. But here, he says, “He comes with clouds, and every eye shall see Him.” I love to think of that moment when “in a moment, and in the twinkling of an eye,” He’s going to do something for me, thank God! Oh, I want to be there; I want to be there. I heard a little girl the other day. She was sitting on a couch. Her legs were far too short to reach the floor, and she was singing and beating with her feet, “I want to be there when the moon is turned to blood; I want to be there when the moon is turned to blood.” But I want to be there when “every eye shall see Him,” and when “all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him.”
