Discipleship resources For Everyone

---

We've had to make some adjustments to the way we gather. That has led us to an exciting conclusion about communion. We're sort of forced to equip you to celebrate it at home, without the help of a pastor or teacher or priest. After all, Jesus is our High Priest, we are the priesthood.

We don’t need a Priest on Earth to stand between us and God. Jesus does that for us. We can serve and share in communion as a member of the priesthood of all believers. 

Here's a script for you to follow to celebrate communion wherever you are;

First, gather the elements you’ll use to represent the body and the blood of Jesus. All you’ll need is some sort of liquid to represent His blood and some kind of bread, or crackers to represent His body.

Pass out the bread and the juice. Now, spend some time in quiet meditation, silently considering and confessing your sins. Open to 1 Corinthians Chapter 11. When you are ready, have someone read this passage from scripture; 

“For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which 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.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-24

Say: “This is Christ Body broken to make us whole” 

Now, eat the bread together. 

Continue reading: 

“In the same way, He took the cup also after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’” 1 Corinthians 11:25

Say: “This is Jesus’ Blood poured out to forgive our sins” 

Now, drink the juice together.

Finish the reading: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:26

Celebrate  with a shout of praise, in prayer and singing!

You have shared in The Lord’s Supper. You are His, and He is yours!
