He is with us

Together we celebrate the victory of Christ over evil and death. Sure, we experience the power of evil in our life. But we believe and we know Jesus has overcome evil and death. He is the strongest One and the evil will have an end. That’s so good to know this. Let’s celebrate the victory of Christ over evil. This celebration is also a confirmation.

Through the celebration of Holy Communion, God confirms us, ‘I abide with you. I am with you.’ Each one will receive a consecrated wafer. And that’s not just bread and wine. That’s the body and the blood of Jesus Christ. In other words, His person. When you receive Holy Communion, Jesus Christ says to you, ‘See, that’s Me. I am with you. Take it.’ This celebration is a confirmation for all of us that Jesus Christ in person is with us. May this confirmation strengthen us. And then this celebration is also an anticipation. It gives us a foretaste of what will happen in heaven. (CA Schneider, Columbia 2025)
