Celebration of Life

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
27 Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Matthew 26:6-26-30(TNIV)



Many refer to the discipline that Jesus discusses here as communion. I like to refer to it as a celebration! A celebration of life and a remembrance of the incredible sacrifice that Jesus made for everyone who makes a conscious decision to embrace Him. One day, as Jesus describes here, all of us who have dared to enter in to this amazing journey of life with Christ will unite in heaven and there will be drinking of wine and singing and a perfect community of believers that are bonded together by the holy and perfect love of our Creator and Friend. Oh what a day that will be. The small glimpses that we experience on earth today; the experiences that bring joyful tears; the ones that give you goose bumps all over will happen all the time since your brokenness that causes a temporary separation from God will be healed and you will be made whole and complete forever in Him! Don’t ever forget the price that Jesus paid for you and be sure to anticipate the grand celebration that we will all experience one day with our Savior when He looks at us with tears in His eyes as a result of His incredible love and says “well done”.
