Communion with Christ

When Christians gather to share in the Lord’s Supper, how do we understand the word “Communion”? Alistair Begg defines this word as meaning “participation,” referring to the fellowship that believers share in this special event. Jesus wants His people to avoid participating with darkness and instead meet with Him. When we take Communion, we are not re-enacting Christ’s death but revealing the meaning of His sacrifice.
