This
meal that we partake of, this simple ritual, is a part of what it means to
commune with all three Persons of the Trinity – to join in with them in eternal
delight and peace. The Father has
summoned you, the Son is offered to you, and the Spirit gives faith to partake
with our spirit as our bodies partake of the bread and wine.
This
is not a time for feeling bad about yourself, your stumbles, your shortfalling,
you sins. This is a time to remember the
death, burial AND resurrection of Jesus Christ your Savior and King, who by His
work has brought you, brought us together, into the delight and peace of the
Triune God.
Come
sincerely, come by faith, come because you have been baptized – and you will
receive blessing here. The Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit welcome you.
