Communion ought to be a time of celebrating Christ’s finished work on the cross. It ought to be a time when we proclaim his victory over sin and sickness.
Yet for many, communion is a time of navel-gazing self-examination. It’s a time of asking, Am I good enough for God? Am I worthy?
Jesus said “take this cup in remembrance of me,” but we often drink in remembrance of ourselves. This is a misplaced focus. Communion isn’t about you but him.
So where's the confusion coming from? It's a misreading of the grace Apostle's letter to the Corinthians, chapter 11, a passage that I will unpack in great detail in my message entitled, "Holy Eating".
