It is worth receiving the Lord’s Supper frequently:
to be part of Christ’s body.
The Bible commonly refers to the Church as the body of Christ. And it’s important to be a member of Christ’s body! If you are, you are also bound to be forever with the Lord, whose very happy household is in heaven.
If you are a part of the body of Christ, you are also very useful here on earth. You are Christ’s ears to hear the needs of others, and Christ’s eyes to see their distress. You are the feet of Jesus to approach them, the hands of Jesus to help them, and his mouth to speak to them his very own comforting words. You are Jesus’ heart to care.
So, how do you become a member of the body of Christ? – Yes, through faith in Jesus, and this also happens specifically, visibly, experientially, in Holy Communion. When you receive Christ’s body, the Holy Spirit makes you Christ’s body.
See you soon at the Lord’s table!
