Common Unity

We come together each Sunday to share in community, in oneness in faith in our salvation through one savior, Jesus Christ. We share this common unity in that we have been adopted into one family, brothers and sisters, sharing one belief, that Jesus, God in flesh, born of a virgin, came here to walk among us and live a sinless life so he could be a sinless sacrifice to pay for our sinful nature. When we accepted his grace through faith in Him as our one savior, we became part of this family who gathers weekly around this table to remember Jesus’s love for us and his taking our sins upon him on a rough Roman cross. We share in a mercy unheard of in any other belief. We share in a love that is based not on what we have done, but on what Jesus did. We also share in a common unity that will extend beyond the bounds of this lifetime into eternity, because of a promise of Jesus, “because I live, you also shall live. We shall share in that eternity, because we will be covered by the righteousness of Jesus which will allow us to be in the presence of a Holy God. One belief in common, in one God, one way, one salvation, through one savior, Jesus Christ. If you have accepted King Jesus’ grace through faith, we ask that you join us in this time of communion as we share in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrificial love. As the trays are passed, take the bread and juice and pass it to the next person. Would you pray with me.
