Preparing for Communion

Getting ready for the Lord's Supper is not "cleaning yourself up" to make yourself worthy of the gift. Then what is it? This week I've talked with people of all ages about preparing their heart to commune with Christ and His church.

How? I think the John Newton hymn, which is on this blog, has a great model...

#1.) Meditate upon your sins that put Christ on that tree.
#2.) Reflect upon Christ receiving ALL the wrath due your sin and sins.
#3.) With mournful joy and pleasing grief... taste and see that the Lord is good!
