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".

This truth comes alive through the story of the woman accused of adultery. Christ's acceptance of her baffles the woman's religious accusers and brings astonishing relief to her. In Christ all are accepted. The gospel is a call to embrace & enjoy this life changing reality!
