There is something about the holy Communion that<br />

you must know: simply ingesting the elements of the<br />

holy Communion will not yield results.<br />

When I first started teaching our church about<br />

the Communion, some of my church members<br />

would simply tell their friends who fell sick <strong>to</strong><br />

partake of the Communion. While I unders<strong>to</strong>od their<br />

intentions, just going through the motions of <strong>eat</strong>ing<br />

the bread <strong>and</strong> drinking the cup devoid of a<br />

relationship with our loving Savior does not work.<br />

You can’t just <strong>eat</strong> the elements out of superstition<br />

or with the attitude of simply “trying it out.” You<br />

can’t just put Communion elements in the h<strong>and</strong>s of<br />

<strong>your</strong> loved ones who are sick <strong>and</strong> simply tell them <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>eat</strong>. Like I mentioned before, there is nothing<br />

magical about the elements of the Communion. If<br />

you have no revelation of the significance of the<br />

Communion, <strong>and</strong> no sense of His love in <strong>your</strong> heart,<br />

the holy Communion becomes empty. Unlike diets<br />

<strong>and</strong> fitness plans, which work if you follow the<br />

prescribed rules, the power of the holy Communion<br />

is based on a revelation of the redemptive work of<br />

Christ <strong>and</strong> faith in His finished work.
