Remembering Christ's Sacrifice with Communion

In Matthew 25:26-29, we see the first communion at the Lord's Last Supper during Passover before Christ's crucifixion.   Not only does he offer the communion ceremony, but he promises we will repeat the process in person with Him later on.

"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, 

ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." - 1 Corinthians 11:26 (KJV)

Communion is not to be taken lightly.  It is meant to remind us of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for our salvation.  The taking of bread (body) and wine (blood) are more than symbols to Christians.  It is a time to reflect on what Christ did, ask forgiveness of past sins, accept Jesus into our current hearts, and follow Him in the future so that we may have eternal life with the Father i Heaven.
