The
Christian church communion meditation was instituted by Jesus the
Christ himself on the night of his betrayal. Jesus was a faithful
Jewish man and as such he participated in the feast of the Passover. On
this night he illuminated to His disciples that He was the final
Passover Lamb. His words were, "This is my blood that was shed for
you...this is my body that was broken for you." These
words were prophetic, but true.The Christian church remembers Christ's
sacrifice with a communion meditation during monthly or weekly services
depending on the denomination. The elders of the church either pass out
the bread and wine or juice or each church member comes to the front to
partake of the sacraments. Each church has their own ceremony ritual
for remembrance, but it basically means the same thing as church
members are remembering the sacrifice Christ made to save them from
spiritual death.Many churches believe the mind should be in a reverent
state during communion and not be racing with other thoughts. That is
why meditation is necessary during the communion process so ones mind
ceases to wander and he can think about how Christ died for his sins.
Christ said to remember him with the communion and the faithful should
do so earnestly and humbly.A person can find more concerning the
communion and Christ's death and resurrection by reading their bible or
looking online at Christian religious sites that explain the communion
meditation in more detail and how to conduct oneself during the
ceremony. Many may take the communion experience lightly not
understanding that they may feel a real spiritual experience if they
will only find the right frame of mind during the process. Find out
more about Christ and his sacrifices for us at 1 Corinthians 11:17-22.
