Echo 39: Holy Communion

Explore the profound significance of Communion and the transformative journey of the Apostle Paul. Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper, commemorates the Last Supper Jesus shared with His disciples and signifies unity among believers. This practice has evolved over time, with different Christian denominations holding various interpretations, from transubstantiation in the Roman Catholic Church to symbolic remembrance in Protestant traditions. World Communion Sunday emphasizes global Christian unity, reminding us of our shared faith. The Apostle Paul's dramatic transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted apostle highlights the power of faith and redemption. His encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus and subsequent mission to spread the Gospel provide foundational teachings for Christianity. Reflect on how Communion fosters unity and how Paul's story can inspire your faith journey.
