Communion Meditations

At Big Creek Church we celebrate communion weekly, you can read the theological and practical reasons are from this series of posts on the Lord's Supper, part 1; part 2; part 3.

The Communion Mediations from this past Sunday (they are a little different this week because of the context of the sermon).

Do you know Jesus?

...really know Him?

Do you love Him more today than ever before?

Why?

Why not?

Are you surrendering all control and power to Jesus?

Are you willing to do that right now?

Is the focus of your life the cross of Christ?

Think about this:

Galatians 6:14 (NIV) May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Colossians 1:19,20 (NIV) For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

In your heart, and perhaps softly whispering to yourself, pray this right now: "Jesus, be the center of my life. I do desire purpose in my life. I want more joy and more peace and more passion. I long to live a life where I can make the best possible contribution to the kingdom of God. I want more gifts and a greater portion of them. But, more than anything else, I want
You. More of You and less of me. Burn away anything in me that distracts me from You as my chief desire and focus. Help me, Lord, to believe what I have just prayed. In the name of Jesus, the Lord. Amen."
