Jeremy Utley - The Horizontal Aspect of the Cross in Communion
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: The Horizontal Aspect of the Cross in Communion Date: 04/03/2022 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The speaker argues that approaching the Lord's Table should encompass both personal piety and a deep care for the community. While self-examination is necessary, the Christian's longing should mirror Jesus' desire to share the meal with his disciples, emphasizing that communion is a communal act. True devotion involves a passion for the church's purity and unity, reflecting the interconnectedness of loving God and loving one's neighbor.
