Communion; the Roux of Life and Love Everlasting

What nourishes our faith? What does our Spirit consume for its strength? When we go to the Lord’s Table we feed our souls the flesh and blood of Jesus, and this sustenance brings us life, eternal life. To consume the body of Christ is to bring Him inside us... to allow Him to dwell in a physical as well as spiritual sense within us. Communion, it is the life-giving nourishment of the Christian experience… it is the most wonderful and satisfying meal taken in the tiniest of morsels and smallest of sips… It is the enormity of eternity in the most meager of earthly portions.

Is bearing the image of Jesus enough?

When we walk through life do we carry with us the fragrance of Jesus; the scent of Heaven, and the very odor of God? Do people not only see Christ in us, but are the blind able to smell His aroma as we approach? We talk about being transformed into the image of Jesus, but there is more to this than the way we look… we are to become like Him in every way… right down to the smell of his cloak, and the sound of His approaching footsteps. Is this what we are becoming each day?
