"But when we fall short and are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined and chastened, so that we may not finally be condemned to eternal punishment along with the world." -I Corinthians 11:32 (AMP)
There are times when traditions become something we do without much thought or consideration. Communion or the Lord's Supper is one of the practices we sometimes take for granted in church. Whenever we come together to remember Christ, we should be sure to examine ourselves before joining the remembrance of our Savior and the anticipation of His return.
We each have the responsibility of examining ourselves. As is the case in many of our lives, there are times when we don't catch our own shortcomings. Jesus will also judge us, as a way to discipline us and help us improve. When He disciplines us, it is for our own good, so we should listen to what He is saying so we can grow and live better lives for Him. It is through our belief in Jesus and His discipline that we can be saved!
Examine yourself and listen for the discipline from Jesus that will help you grow!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the discipline that Jesus provides so I can grow and live a better life for You. Help me to be aware of my own shortcomings and to improve each and every day. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
