There is probably not a home among us that does not have stuck away in a junk drawer somewhere some old Super glue. We keep it around to help us put back together common household items that slip from our fingers and before we know it they crash to the floor and there break into many pieces. And like all the kings horses and all the kings men, we then frantically try and to glue back together again, to restore them as best we can.
You and I are not that much different! On a daily basis we often find ourselves broken in Spirit, by hurtful words or our souls become downcast for we give and give and give and you simply need once in a while someone to come along side of you and help fill you up or put you back together. We are really good at helping people re-build after a tragedy, a natural Disaster. But that's easy, putting together lumber and bricks. It's another thing to help mend a broken heart. Even the Bee Gee's offer no answers to us in there timeless hit from the 70's. They only offer up the question. Well here is an answer, Holy Communion. It is God's love for you and I given unto us in two simple items that you and we can touch, smell and taste. We are a people who desperately need something real, something solid to cling too and that is exactly what God gave us. A simple piece of unleavened bread to remind of how much Jesus did for us through His three short years of ministry and then through His death on the cross. A little cup of juice to taste, that ushers us once again back into the salvation only Jesus can give. To remind us that eternal life awaits at the end of life's journey. To restore us from the sin we have done.
Holy Communion, a Godly "super glue" to mend our broken hearts, to rekindle fires that have burnt out, to repair our broken egos and spirits. If you were not in Church on Sunday to celebrate Holy Communion with us and you could use a little putting back together, Jesus style, let me know and I will be glad to come to you and offer to you this precious gift from God!
