holy communion

Thank you for the topic James. I've grown used to hearing people talk of preparing for the holy communion and sort of accepted it without really asking if we can be able to say that we are ready. If our righteousness is just "filthy rags" and our attempt to save ourselves is nothing more than trying to cover our nakedness with fig leaves, then I doubt we can ever say we are ready for the holy communion.
 
I just tend to wonder how many of the disciples were "ready" when the first communion was held. I believe that because Jesus said "do this in memory of me", the question of readiness is secondary to the question of participation because the occasion help us remember Christ's suffering for us. I hope to research a bit more on this James.

thanks Tonde. and its nice to have u back on the forum.
i get a little weary when i see people refusing to take part for reasons of not being ready.
so i look foward to reading more of what you would have researched and please be sure to give us some of the interesting things you learned while you were away.
God Speed.
