I see Holy Commmunion as: A faith statement in that it identifies me with the death of Christ. It says to witnesses that I beleive in that Christ died for the sins of the world. A form of worship. The scriptures tell us that it is better to obey than sacrifice. We have been asked to do this in remembrance of Christ. Our obedience in doing this speaks loudly of how much we honor God. A reminder. Personnaly I do need a reminder every now and then of God's work of slavation. Otherwise I might become overwhelmed by temptations and/or trials and forget that Christ said that I shoud not be afraid because He has overcome the world.
