LOC FAF Remember Me

Faith Art Friday is always such an inspirational day over at Layers of Color - it is where art is shared that has been inspired by our faith - this is one day that is set aside purely for our passion for paper and for Him - we would love you to come and share with us by clicking here.

Communion has always been a topic that is interpreted in many different ways.  Each Church and individual has their own understanding on what the scripture is saying.  As I created this card, the sentiment led me to think about the times in the Scripture when Jesus asked us to think of Him...'Remember me'

'...and giving thanks, He broke and said, Take, eat; this is My body which is broken on behalf of you; this do in remembrance of Me.

In the same way the cup also, after supping, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink, do this in remembrance of Me.
 For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink this cup, you solemnly proclaim the death of the Lord, until He shall come 

1 Cor 11:24-26

Eating the bread and drinking of 'the cup' is partaking of Him - being in union with Him, therefore if we are in Christ we are remembering Him, as we commune with Him in His name.

 Communion is an intimate act - one of deep fellowship.

The act of communion is a sanctified act in the Church and a special time, partaking of the bread and the wine symbolising His body being broken for us and His blood being shed for our salvation - I too have partaken of these sanctified elements and will continue to do so. I also understand that we are not limited to these times - when Jesus asks us to remember him - it is not only within the walls of our Church buildings but to also do it every time we break bread with believers- because we are His Church.

We should not underestimate the 'fellowship' we have around our own tables, in our own homes.  Communing with Him extends far beyond the elements we partake of at Church.  Indeed, as we come together around our tables with friends and family, breaking bread and fellowshipping together, talking of the Lord and remembering Him - we are having communion together...

We love to get together with friends and share what has been happening in each others lives, our talk very quickly turns to the Lord - more often than not this occurs around a meal...

When we are breaking bread together and remembering Him - this is indeed communion - are we drinking from one cup, or perhaps individual cups full of wine/juice, or partaking of the one loaf, or wafers as some do - no...this communion is one that takes place spontaneously from the heart of one believer to another - communing with the Lord and forgetting not His benefits....

'For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.'

Mat 18:20

Communion = Union, Intimacy and fellowship - we are all partakers of the Body of Christ

Thus remembering Him whenever we commune together.
