The world is full of noise; social media, screens and trends. Communion interrupts that noise and redirects us to where our life should be anchored. It reminds us that we are no longer defined by family patterns, personal history, or circumstances, but are bound to this supernatural covenant.

You mock the idea of a God who took on a human body; who cried, who hungered, who slept, who bled, who even had bowels. You find that ridiculous. I understand why. If I believed God was obsessed mainly with asserting dominance, enforcing submission, or staying untouched by our weakness, I would laugh too.
But maybe that reaction says more about us than about God.
The scandal of the Incarnation is not that God became “dirty with flesh.” The scandal is that God loved enough to step into the human condition instead of staying distant and comfortable. The God of Scripture did not hover above suffering and shout commands from a celestial throne; He entered the world we broke. He did not approach us wearing sterile gloves. He came as a child. He came hungry. He came vulnerable. He came into the full reality of embodied life, the beauty of it and the embarrassment of it.
And that tells you everything about His character.

Peter 1:16 (KJV):
"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."
Many times, people fall prey to this—even on a relationship level. You believe something about someone because things appear to be what they are not. But because these tales are so carefully crafted, they sway you, they persuade you into having a perception about someone or something that is not true. That is why, if you are to deal with realities, you must understand that perception can be deceptive. You’ve got to go beyond perception and track down the evidence, the evidence of what you are believing. ~Prophet_elvis
