HOLY COMMUNION MUST NOT BE TAKEN WITHOUT PRE-CAUTION.

CHRIST MOST BELOVED:
AS THE LENTEN SEASON IS GRADUALLY WINDING DOWN, WE ARE REMIND OURSELVES OF THE DANGER OF TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION WITHOUT FOLLOWING THE RULES THAT ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
NEGLIGENCE ON OUR SIDE MAY LEAD TO IRREVERSIBLE ANGUISH IN ONE’S LIFE; AND IT MAY EVEN LEAD TO SUDDEN DEATH ACCORDING TO APOSTLE PAUL.
THIS SELF INFLICTED WOUND MOSTLY OCCUR DUE TO CARELESSNESS IN TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION WITHOUT THE DUE PROCESS.
THOUGH IT IS MANDATED FOR ALL FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST, BUT IT HAS TO BE TAKEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES.
THE HEART MUST BE PURE, WITHOUT GRUDGE AND THE MIND MUST BE FREE OF HATRED AND MALICE: AS CHRIST HIMSELF HAS SAID IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW, 5:-23-24.
TO DIS-REGARD THIS SIMPLE RULES IS TO BEAR THE FULL CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEGLECT.
1 CORINTHIANS, 11:-27-30 “WHEREFORE WHOSOEVER SHALL EAT THE BREAD, AND DRINK THIS CUP OF THE LORD UNWORTHILY, SHALL BE GUITY OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD. BUT LET A MAN EXAMINE HIMSELF AND SO LET HIM EAT OF THE BREAD, AND DRINK THE CUP. FOR HE THAT EATS AND DRINKS UNWORTHILY; EATS AND DRINK DAMNATION TO HIMSELF, NOT DISCERNING THE LORD’S BODY, FOR THIS CAUSE MANY ARE WEAK AND SICKLY AMONG YOU AND MANY SLEEP.”
IN CONCLUSION: IF WE GENUINELY EXAMINED OURSELVES INDIVIDUALLY, AND HAVE SOME DOUBTS IN OURSELF TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION; LET US TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS OF RECONCILIATION WITH WHOEVER WE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH, BEFORE TAKING THE HOLY COMMUNION. IT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN IF WE ARE NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE RULES OF LOVE AND FORGIVENESS. (MATTHEW, 5:-44)
