For centuries, the Last Supper has been viewed as a reminder to all believers that God sent his Son to die for us.
In modern times, there are huge debates on what the Bible says in regards to how many times one is supposed to partake of communion.
Some say once a month, others say weekly.
Regardless of your viewpoint on this subject, there is still one concept or idea that I have never heard spoken about during communion.
And it's that the Last Supper is Jesus' call to action!
His death on the cross is Jesus' final earthly action to bring his kingdom here to earth!
He reminds us that when we engage in this meal we are to do it in rememberance of Him; that we are to remember that His goal while on earth was to bring His Father's kingdom here, now.
We are to remember that its our turn to bring the Kingdom to earth!
It's our turn to usher in a new kingdom, on the behalf of God.
It's our turn to show people the love of Jesus.
It's our turn to do when we have learned from Him.
Communion is more than just a reminder of Christ's death! It's a call to action. After all, could we really ever forget that Jesus died for us, if we claim to follow and believe in Him?
