How to Find Divine Transformation Through Communion

This devotional by Smith Wigglesworth centers on the profound spiritual significance of the Lord's Supper and the transformative journey of faith it represents for believers. Wigglesworth marvels at the act of Jesus giving thanks for His own sacrifice, a concept that transcends human understanding and can only be grasped through divine revelation. He emphasizes that this act of thanksgiving and the communion itself are gateways from the natural into the supernatural for those reborn in Christ.
The devotional highlights how the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper serves as a tangible connection to the divine, leading believers from a physical act of eating bread, representing Jesus’ body, into a spiritual communion with Christ. This emblematic act strengthens believers' faith, allowing them to partake in the richness of God's promises and the spiritual realities of heaven.
Furthermore, Wigglesworth touches upon the moment Jesus revealed the presence of a betrayer among His disciples, illustrating the vulnerability and self-doubt even the closest to Jesus experienced. Yet, in this revealing, there's a call for a purer, more trusting community of faith, underscored by Jesus’ teaching on true greatness being found in servanthood and humility.
Wigglesworth concludes with a vision for the church to embody the fullness of Pentecost, marked by a sanctified community that lives in perfect love, refraining from speaking ill of one another. He envisions a church where believers are so transformed by their faith and the understanding of Christ's sacrifice that they prefer and serve one another in love, surpassing all that has been known before.
In essence, this devotional invites believers to a deeper understanding and experience of communion, not just as a ritual, but as a transformative encounter with Christ, leading to a life of faith, love, and humble service.
