Christ calls His children into holy communion by remembering His sacrificial death on the cross. The night He was betrayed, He explained the significance of what was about to happen. His body would be broken, so broken humanity could be healed by His sinless sacrifice. His blood would be poured out as a pure offering, sin’s final payment for all who breathe God’s free air. Yes, holy communion is a holy encounter with Christ. Sincere saints take seriously this grand gift of grace. The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me. In the same way, after supper he took the cup saying This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it in remembrance of me. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
