Strengthened by Christ’s presence in a broken world

Now, today, in the sacrament of Holy Communion, we can experience the real presence of Christ - His sacrifice, His body and blood, His presence in the midst of those gathered here. Unfortunately, because we are still on this broken earth and still sit here in our sinful, corruptible bodies, all the promises of our Bible verses for today will not be present.

We still have pain, death, sorrow, and tears. But the sacrifice of Christ, His presence in these moments gives us power to endure, to hope, to look toward that promised future. And it also give us confidence that we are His. We are His people, we are His children, and He is with us.
