But we do partake of Jesus by faith as we eat and drink. He is present with us and I believe that in Communion, His presence is particularly powerful.
Teaching That Saves
St. Paul told Timothy, Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
What is it we should take heed of and what doctrine are we to pay attention to?
That Jesus came to save sinners. That He died and rose again. That He rules over everything. That He is coming again at the last day to receive His kingdom.
Therefore, continue living out what God has worked into you. Be faithful. Don’t get distracted by the rumors of impending trouble, even of those who grow weak or deny the faith or who lead the saints astray. You stay steadfast. You believe. You teach others the same. This will save you and them.
Dear Saints, you are here today to take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Thus, you shall save yourself and them that hear you. He does not mean that you become your own Savior. He means that you fully trust the One who is the Savior. Rest assured, God is faithful and He will save you and those that hear you to the uttermost.

Praise
Our Father in Heaven, we glorify and praise Your Holy Name. You sent Your Son to us to live a perfect, sinless life, to suffer for us and to die on the cross to atone for our sins. The grave could not hold Him because You raised Him from the dead by the power of Your life-giving Holy Spirit. He appeared to the apostles and disciples with many undeniable proofs and commissioned Your people to proclaim His name to the whole Earth. He is now seated at Your right hand, interceding for Your people and ruling over heaven and earth. He has sent Your Holy Spirit to us so that we would proclaim to all the Earth the mighty acts of God. We give You glory for doing all of this so that the name of Jesus would be greatly exalted in the Earth. Amen.
