Proclamation

This is a short thought, but I love the implications.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."

When we eat the Lord's supper--we are all proclaimers (preachers). We are all evangelists. We are all proclaiming with one voice our singular faith in Christ Jesus.

Awesome.
