Let’s Commune

The Holy Communion, as well know; the Lord's Supper, represents the greatest expression of God's love for His people. Two items are used in the Holy Communion—the bread which represents Jesus' body that was scourged and broken before and during His crucifixion, and the cup which represents His shed blood. Thus, The blessing-cup that we bless is a communion with the blood of Christ, and the bread that we break is a communion with the body of Christ. To Commune carries with it a variety of different meanings in the Christian faith, so perhaps it would be helpful to anyone exploring Christ and His church to understand that we commune in three distinct categories; communion as Eucharist, communion as community, and communion as mystery.

Turning against God’s Will

The Will of God’s is difficult but it’s the inevitable result of our lives. Today, Jesus uses that opportunity to continue teaching the us about the family of God. He clearly states that we become a member of His family simply by obeying the will of the Father in Heaven. Obeying gives us extraordinary and extravagant to do things exceedingly.

Burning Desires

Mary of Magdala was healed of “seven devils” by Jesus. She ministered to him in Galilee and was present at his crucifixion. She was in the group of women who were the first to discover the empty tomb, and it was to her that the risen Jesus first appeared. Her desire to see the Lord was so intense and she had to wait until she could find him. 22 July, 2024 on the Feast of Mary Magdalene. Location: Bawop Central

He can do it again

Jesus is never tried of making us happy. He makes sure his own is glorious in every aspect and especially against sorrows and pain. Jesus is ever loving, saving, healing, teaching, preaching and merciful. 13th Sunday of OT at Njua Banu. Station Boki, LGA. Cross River State. Nigeria.
