Sermon on Acts 6:1-7
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to serve.
He had a ministry. He was a deacon. He gives us daily bread and does not
neglect us. But there is one big difference. Ministers serve what is not their
own. Jesus Christ is the source. He gives Himself. Do not think you are getting
anything else at this meal. You are not getting a warm fuzzy feeling of
communion. You are not getting a stoic feeling of conviction. You are not
getting ideas, doctrine and theology in picture form. You are not getting a
snack. You are not getting a reminder of Jesus. You are getting Jesus. Not
physically his body, but by the Spirit the real Jesus is communicated to us in
this bread and wine, as we take it in faith. Christ’s ministers are right now
giving you what is way beyond their power to give. Feed upon Jesus Christ in
your soul, trust Him with your life.
