Communion Meditation 
I have heard it said; that from the time we exit the womb, we are searching for another one.
The womb; a place of safety, shelter. A place of belonging, security. The womb, a place of unity and community – mother and child are physically united.
In a fallen world we are looking for that place of security, community, belonging.
We are looking to return to Eden. The place where we belong. We are looking for home. The place where we can walk with God in the cool of the day. But because of our sin, the way home has been barred to us by the flaming sword of the angels.
The blood and righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ has opened the way home. We can return to Eden, the place where we belong. We can know security, community, belonging, safety.
We can return home; home to the family dinner table.
Communion means many things; but it at least means this. We, as prodigal sons and daughters, are welcomed home.
We are washed, we are cleansed, we are forgiven. But also, we are united to Christ and so we are united to one another. We are all one in Christ Jesus. We belong and are accepted. We have found our community; our people; our friends and companions in Christ.
We come to this table in faith, and we come together as the people of God.
If these are not your people if you do not see Jesus and love him. If you do not believe in the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ, this table is not for you. I warn you to stay away. Do not despise holy things for there will be a heavy price to pay.
If these are your people, and Jesus is your savior and friend. Come to the table. Find the womb that you have been looking for. Come, and welcome to Jesus Christ.
