John 6:44
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Martin Luther’s First Communion.
A young Martin Luther was going to present his communion. This act would confirm his ordination into priesthood.
A celebration was planned by his wealthy dad. After the confirmation.
Martin Luther got in front of the congregation. Said a prayer over the elements, then froze.
He was unable to complete the ceremony. Another finished the communion.ML
Afterwards, Luther’s dad asked, “what happened?”
“Dad,” Luther exclaimed. “I was holding the real blood and flesh of Jesus. Don’t you understand? I was in awe!”
Though we Christians don’t believe in transubstantiation ( the transformation of juice and a cracker into the real Jesus), I use this to illustrate a point.
Have you had the opportunity to touch the REAL JESUS? To be touched by the REAL JESUS?
What will you do with this encounter? Be in awe or walk away?
Proverbs 27:1
“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”
Today, the Holy Spirit is tapping you on the shoulder. Today is the time to accept Jesus into your heart.
Pray this with me….
“Dear Jesus, forgive me a sinner. Come into my life and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Jesus thank you for dying on the cross for me. Father send the comforter to me, to indwell me. Amen.”
Welcome to the family of God.
Next step, look for a Bible based church that will disciple you.
