What answer would you give if someone were to ask you, When did the first Communion take place? Chances are good that your response would be something like this: The Last Supper, of course. Everyone knows that! Most Christians would agree with you. However, the Last Supper was not necessarily the first celebration of the Eucharist. The first exchange of bread and wine the Communion elements took place in an historical event thousands of years earlier. Derek's teaching about Communion will captivate your imagination, as will the entire study of the theme in this book. From his starting point in Genesis to the poignant scene with Jesus and His disciples in the Upper Room, Derek will lead us on a biblical journey into a deeper, richer understanding of this precious sacrament of Communion that we observe in honor of Jesus, just as He commanded. Along the way, we will delve deeply into the mysteries of this solemn sacrament. Why are we asked to ¿eat¿ Jesus¿ flesh and ¿drink¿ His blood? Why was Jesus called a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek? What changes take place in us when we take Communion? These and many other questions are answered in The Power of Communion. In the final chapters, Derek opens his life to us in a rare, touching, and personal way as he shares from some of the most difficult and yet gratifying moments of his life. With tremendous biblical scholarship and deeply personal accounts, Derek presents this theme in a way that will profoundly impact your relationship with Jesus Christ each time you meet Him at The Table of the Lord.
