COMMUNION

COMMUNION

To me the most significant mark of decline amongst us is the apparent inattention to communion. There is a certain measure of communion over a passage of scripture, but I do not consider that communion in the true sense. The word fellowship hardly conveys to me the meaning of communion, though there is only the one word in the original for both. Now what do you understand by communion? I consider that communion is to be in concert with the Lord in His present thoughts and interests. Peter had great affection for the Lord (in John 21) but he was not in communion with Him. Martha was not in communion; Mary sought it and found it.
