Faithful obedience

The shepherds in Luke 2:10-11 were able to see the Savior because they followed the angel’s instructions. Obedience to God gives us access to the salvation He already offers today.

Jesus tell His disciples that if they love Him, they will do what He says (John 14:23-24). When sharing the Last Supper, He also instructs His disciples to “do this in remembrance of Me” (Mark 14:22-25).

Every celebration of Holy Communion provides the opportunity to have an experience of faith. Faith that this wasn’t simply a child in a manger, but the Savior of the world, faith in Jesus’ offer of salvation, faith in His promise to return, faith that in Holy Communion He’ll give me His presence, peace, and power as I await AND prepare for His return and eternal life.
