Good Friday Communion Observance

"And He took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me' (Luke 22:19 ESV).

"And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, saying, 'Drink of it, all of you, for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins' (Matthew 26:27-28 ESV).

His Blood Still Cleanses Us from Sin!

This year, the church moved its midweek service to Good Friday to commemorate the Lord's Supper. It was a very moving time. With such songs as "Your "Love Came Down," "Hallelujah for the Cross," and "Thank You, Jesus, for the Blood," the ensemble ushered in a spirit of gratefulness to the "Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). Then Pastor Johnson led us in the partaking of communion by reciting the words of Jesus during the last supper with His disciples.

Oh, what a Savior! What love He showed us that "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Oh that precious blood of Jesus that will never lose its soul-saving power!
