Communion is a gift of God’s grace for weary pilgrims on the hard and narrow heavenly road, (Matt. 7:13-14). God’s people should cherish this sacred supper and ever-rejoice in the gospel which it visibly proclaims to their souls each time it is properly served. However, in our present time, where a spirit of radical individualism reigns unchecked, there has become much confusion about who is to be welcomed to the Lord’s Supper.

Through the Lord’s Supper, the saving work of Jesus Christ is visibly portrayed before our very eyes. Jesus assigned the bread to represent his body and the wine to represent his blood. Each of these are symbols of the work which Jesus accomplished for us in order to bring us—guilty sinners—into the saving grace of the New Covenant.

Jesus made a very important promise to his Church before his ascension to the right hand of the Father. He said, “And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age,” (Matt. 28:20). These are words of great comfort for any Christian. To know that our Savior and King will never leave us nor forsake us is a priceless gift to our souls. But, in these modern times, there seems to be quite a lot of confusion as to how this promise is fulfilled. In what way does our Redeemer continue to abide with his people? How does our Good Shepherd continue to look after the flock of his love?

I was a child who, culturally speaking, ‘should’ have been aborted. I understand what it is like to be born into a dysfunctional family of teenage parents who have neither the love, maturity, or resources to properly raise a family. My childhood hurt…a lot. The wounds still echo. But do you know what? I am still glad that my unprepared parents did not murder me instead.

Prayerlessness can never be blamed on a proper understanding of God’s sovereignty. No, no, no. Prayerlessness actually reveals a misunderstanding and poor application of the doctrine of God’s sovereignty. It because we know that God is sovereign that we should pray with all the more confidence and joy know that God has planned to use “all things”—including our prayers—to fulfill his perfect and unchangeable will for our lives, (Rm 8:28).
