Explicit Gospel - Week 3 White Horse Church Sermon Audio

Jesus knows the tendencies of our flesh to grow numb to spiritual things over time, but becausehe deeply desires for you to be present with him and to have the gospel at the focal point ofyour attention he gave us physical touchpoints of spiritual realities. Tangible moments thatinvolve us in the story of the gospel, to ratify our beliefs in reality. So that we might feel, touch,taste and see the gospel. Jesus gave us Baptism and Communion. To outward rituals that symbolise profound gospel transformation and narrative.The purpose of communion, as we see in our passage from 1 Corinthians 11, is to ‘proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes’. It also serves to remind us, tangibly, that Jesus has given hislife for us, that his body was broken and his blood shed, that you might one day see him face to face welcoming you home. What a profound and beautiful image! If only we could focus on thatall the time!
