I want to be waiting in 12th year or 18th year or 25th year with a faith that believes Jesus could walk by, stop, put some mud on the hurts of my soul and heal me. I even want to be the kind of person who is willing to take the risk that God might disappoint me by not answering my prayer because I know He is always my friend and always loves me. You can have a gold medal faith. You can look hopelessness in the eye and believe. This morning Jesus invites us to communion.
Communion is an act of trust.
We see a small piece of bread and a small cup of juice. God brings to the table more than we can see. He tells us this bread and juice is a sign of the greatest answer to prayer God has ever answered. Jesus died on the cross to free you and me us from sin and death. God also tells us that communion points us to the time that we will not wait anymore.
