Preterist Insights: Jesus’ Return and Spiritual Resurrection
On this Communion Sunday, we gather to reflect on the profound significance of the Lord’s Supper, a tradition instituted by Jesus Christ as a means for believers to remember His sacrifice. As we partake in the bread and wine, we commemorate the offering of His body and blood for the remission of sins, a gesture that binds us eternally to Him.
In the Gospel of John, we are reminded of the incarnation of Christ, the true Light who came into the world He created, yet was not recognized by His own. Despite this rejection, the promise remains that those who receive Him are given the power to become the children of God. This transformative power is available to all who believe in His name, transcending the boundaries of the chosen people and extending the invitation to all nations.
The narrative of Jesus’ life, as recounted by John, is a testament to the complexities of His mission and the ultimate rejection by those He came to save. Yet, it is through this rejection that the door was opened for all to enter into a relationship with God, becoming His sons and daughters through spiritual rebirth.
As we reflect on these truths, let us remember the depth of God’s love and the invitation extended to each of us to join in His eternal family. Through the act of communion, we not only remember His sacrifice but also affirm our belief and commitment to follow Him. As we continue to study His word, may we be ever mindful of the grace and truth embodied in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh.
