Today is Maundy Thursday of Holy Week. Our day to remember and ponder the significance of communion. We've seen two young church planters die over the past few weeks and its made me think about my kids and how, more than anything, if I were to die while they are still young, I would want them to know how deeply I love them. Jesus must have been thinking of a way to help his disciples and remember how deeply he loves each of them (and each of us). He never wanted us to forget so he commanded us to regularly remember his ultimate demonstration of love for us through communion. We can see, smell and even taste the love of Christ in communion. Do I really experience the heart of Christ for me when I take those elements, precious reminders of his body and his blood poured out in love for us. Teach us Christ, to know and experience your love for us. Help us to understand the love that drew you and kept you on the cross.
