Faith without religion.
Communion and Christ’s Supremacy
On the first Sunday of each month, we gather to partake in communion, a sacred tradition instituted by Jesus during His last meal with His disciples. This act of eating and drinking serves as a powerful reminder of His sacrifice for the sins of the world. As we reflect on Matthew 26:26-28, we remember Jesus’ words, “Take, eat; this is my body,” and “Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
As we partake in communion, we join together in a profound act of remembrance and gratitude for His offering. This ritual is not just a personal reflection but a communal declaration of faith, acknowledging the worthiness of His sacrifice. By participating, we affirm our belief in Him and His eternal covenant with us.
In our study of Hebrews, we delve into the profound truths about Jesus’ superiority over angels and prophets. The writer of Hebrews emphasizes that Jesus, the Son of God, holds a more excellent name and position than any angel. This distinction is not about moral character but about His exalted rank and divine nature. The text challenges us to understand the complexities of Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment in Jesus, urging us to deepen our faith and comprehension of His divine identity.
As we continue to explore these scriptures, we are reminded of the vastness of God’s creation, including the existence of angels, and the unique role of Jesus as the first begotten from the dead. This understanding enriches our faith, encouraging us to embrace the mysteries of scripture with open hearts and minds. Through this journey, we strive to become true disciples, grounded in the knowledge and love of our Savior.
