WHY I COME TO THE ALTAR OF GOD

I come, not because l am worthy, but because I have Sinned and fallen short of what, by God's help, I might have been.

I come, not that there is any magic in partaking of Christ's body and blood, but because of the Lord's command, "Do this for the remembrance."

I come, because Christ bids me come.  It is His table and He invites me.

I come, because here is portrayed the sacrifice of my Lord who gave Himself for me.

I come, because I find myself drawn closer to God, the Christ of Calvary, and to those who kneel with me at Holy Communion. Yes, I am made to feel my kinship to all those everywhere who proclaim Christ as Savior.

I come, because I rise from the Lord's Table with a new strength, courage, and power to live for Him who died for me.
