Faithful to the End

The closer we are to the realities in our faith the more likely we are to remain faithful to the end. Our manner of life rests on a real Person in real events. It is not just an engaging idea; things have happened that embody ultimate principles and give them actuality.

This meal is the next best thing to being there. The communion elements picture the real event that we want to “exist” in our minds and hearts. We want it to “exist” there because we love the One who endured such cruelty to show how much he loved for us. Knowing that spurs us on to continued faithfulness.
