Encountering Christ: The living word in the sacrament

The center of Scripture is not the text, but the person of Jesus Christ - the eternal Logos, the eternal Word. The words give us a glimpse of His life, His person, His suffering, and His death. Yet, here in the sacrament of Holy Communion, they become reality.

Jesus Christ is with us, His sacrifice is present along with His broken body and poured out blood. Through the sacramental power of the Holy Spirit we can experience Christ more powerfully in communion than in Scripture.
