Daily Devotional Thoughts . . .

Theme: I Believe in Communion

Celebrate the Presence

Read Deuteronomy 27:1–7

Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 27:7).

In the Old Testament, God’s people fellowshipped by sacrificing an animal and having a feast. In the New Testament, however, the sacrifice has aleady been made: Jesus Christ. Now we can fellowship together, partaking of Communion, celebrating why Jesus died for us.When two or more believers gather in the name of Jesus, He joins them (Matthew 18:20). This alone is cause for celebration, but to remember what He did for believers takes it to the next level.

Even though the events Communion symbolizes are very solemn, the Cross made the resurrection possible. When you take Communion, you remember the Lord’s death and His sacrifice, but don’t stop there. Remember how He rose again, showing the victory over sin and death.

Taking Communion involves more than one person. When people gather with the right attitude, Jesus is present. Take that time to not only celebrate Jesus’ presence but the victory He gives us over sin and death.

Thought for Today: God’s presence can show His pleasure.
