Theme: I Believe in Communion

What Does It Mean?

Read Exodus 12:21–27

As Roger took the juice and bread from the plate, his daughter leaned over. “Dad, why do you and Mom do this?” Roger smiled. He knew she would ask that question some day.

And when your children ask you, “What does this ceremony mean to you?” then tell them, “It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.” Then the people bowed down and worshiped. (Exodus 12:26,27).

God expects every Christian to have an answer for questions about the faith (1 Peter 3:15). These answers are especially important when passing on the faith to the next generation. If it isn’t passed on, it will die out. And if their questions aren’t answered well, they may leave the faith later.

When the next generation asks about Communion, tell them it reminds you of what Jesus did at the Cross, how His body was broken and His blood poured out. Give them the meaning and give them faith.

Prayer Suggestion: God, help me give good answers when others ask me about You.

Prayer is our link with God, an awesome avenue through which we can express praise and adoration to Him for His goodness, love, and mercy; and an avenue through which we can voice our petitions and concerns. God's Word assures us that we can "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

Prayer also moves the hand of God on behalf of needs and circumstances in our church, our families, our community, nation, and world. Take time to pray and intercede for these areas as God leads you. Become part of a prayer group and intercede with others in times of corporate prayer. As you seek God's help, expect reports of great victory to follow as God answers prayer.
