Acts 2:46-47 (NIV)
46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NIV)
23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
25In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Application:
May we remember to come to church regularly and take holy communion together as a church. Let us be thankful for what Jesus has done at the cross for our sins and take the holy communion at least once a month to remember what He has done for us and His promise to us. We don’t have to come everyday to church like in the past. Try to come every Sunday for church service. For those who work on Sunday, try to arrange at least one Sunday in the month to come to church. You may be thinking but the verse in Acts 2:46 say they broke bread in their homes. The word homes are actually refering to the temple courts. Their temple court is their 2nd home beside their main home. To us now, the church is now our home. Is our 2nd home beside our own main home. I chose these verses on Sunday as I think of some Christian who didn’t come to church and take holy communion. It makes me think of the importance of them realizing that they need to come to church and take holy communion. The church is the body of Christ. We are His body. We need to be together. We need to do what Jesus has told us.
