Step One

We celebrated communion in our service this past Sunday. While the believers were going to the front to receive the bread and the juice from our elders, I gave an invitation to anyone who could not confess Christ as their forgiver to talk to me about it. I had a woman respond. We met in the back of the room. After we exchanged names, call her D, her first words were, I’m lost. Is that not what the unredeemed should get out of it when they see the redeemed celebrating the body and blood of Jesus broken and shed for their sins. Anyone who comes to Jesus must first realize what D has come to see. I pray for and anticipate the next time we observe communion, she will be taking the elements alongside the friends who brought her to church.
