The Miracle Table: REDISCOVERING THE POWER OF COMMUNION

by Andrew Murray

So Communion for us is an act of remembrance, but just what are we remembering? We are remembering that we are covenant people! We are remembering that all of God’s promises for our lives are based on a covenant sealed with His own blood. On the days when my guilt and shame are overwhelming, I take communion and remind myself, “I am forgiven, I am righteous, I am a new creation.” On the days when I am sick, I take communion and I remind myself, “By His stripes I am healed.” On the days when I am in the midst of a battle, I take communion and I remind myself, “He is good. He is my peace. He is my joy. He is my comfort. He is a faithful God and He will do what He has said He will do!” However, communion is more than just reminding myself of His covenant. It is receiving in my flesh the signs of the covenant, and in doing so entering into the reality and manifestation of the covenant itself.
