The Sacred Ritual of Communion: Nourishing the Soul with the Bread of Life
It is necessary for those who are believers of the Lord Jesus Christ to participate in this holy ritual because just as bread nourishes the body, faith in Jesus Christ nourishes the soul and provides food.
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry," John 8:35 this verse conveys a profound truth about spiritual sustenance. Just as bread nourishes the body, belief in the Lord Jesus Christ provides sustenance for the soul. By partaking in communion, believers symbolically reaffirm their connection to Christ, acknowledging him as the ultimate source of spiritual fulfillment and sustenance.
For those who believe in the Holy Communication, it is very important to perform this Lord's ritual. This sacred ritual, filled with symbolism and spirituality, serves as a cornerstone of faith for believers around the world. Holy Communion is not merely a ritualistic observance but a sacred act of remembrance. As Lord Jesus Christ instructed his disciples during the Last meal, "Do this in remembrance of me." Through communion, believers commemorate Christ's sacrificial love and the eternal covenant established through his death and resurrection. In this act of remembrance, they find solace, inspiration, and renewed strength for their spiritual journey.
It beckons believers to partake in the spiritual feast offered by Christ, finding fulfillment and sustenance in his presence. Through faith and communion, believers quench the thirst of their souls and find satisfaction in the boundless love of their Savior.

Before the service, the altar is prepared with bread and grape juice, symbolizing the body and blood of Christ. With respect senior pastors and servers engage in a spiritual journey of preparation, devoting themselves to prayerful contemplation to ensure that their hearts are attuned to the sacredness of the communion ritual.
The Holy Communion service begins with worship when the Lord is praised with spiritual songs, then the presence of the Holy Spirit so that baptized believers can prepare their minds to participate in this sacred ceremony. The pious prayers offered in this way illuminate the eternal truths contained in the Word of God, through the presence of God and the readings of the Holy Bible.
According to the book of 1 Corinthians 11:27-28 "Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let every man examine himself, and let him eat the bread and drink from the cup."
The Bible warns all believers that those who partake of the bread and cup in an unworthy manner are guilty of insulting the significance of Christ's sacrifice. This "improper manner" refers to various attitudes or behaviors such as participating in the ritual without confessing sins, having a wrong attitude towards one's fellow believers, and participating without true devotion and understanding of the spiritual significance. Therefore, it is every believer must purify himself and then participate in this ritual so that we can receive blessings from God.
Believers who have been baptized after confessing their sins participate in this holy ceremony of God. The souls of the believers are given by the senior pastor from the bread and wine prepared from the altar and restored to their souls.
