Not a pill, but a promise

I see the danger of celebrating Holy Communion and accepting the host like a pill, and then it has such a magical effect: Oh, now I have received Holy Communion. Now it's getting better again, now it's fine. This has no magical impact, no magical effect. It's not a pill you swallow. You have to do something. It's not just about swallowing and digesting the dispensed host. Something has to happen inside you.

I'm aware that you can't be so conscious of every celebration of the Lord's Supper in every service. We are human beings; it doesn't work like that every time. But every now and then it is worth really celebrating Holy Communion like this and asking yourself the question: What does this message of the resurrection, the victory of Jesus Christ, His return, what does His example, the following of Jesus Christ, mean for me today?

He gives me the guarantee: If you do it like I do, nothing bad can happen to you. You will achieve salvation. (CA Schneider, Germany 2024)
