HOLY COMMUNION
Welcome to Pentecost, the Day and Season of the Holy Spirit! In the cycle of the Church Year, Christ has ascended but He has not left us alone! He was faithful to send us His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to live with us all our days.
Christ describes the Holy Spirit as the Paraclete, which is a Greek word that doesn’t translate easily. No word captures who He is.
He is the Advocate, bringing Christ to us and us to Christ that we might be made right with the Father. The Holy Spirit prays on our behalf, interceding for us that we may be kept safe and sound, alive in faith. Through the Word He reminds us that we are ever forgiven, ever loved, and ever right with God.
He is the Counsellor, teaching us all that we need for this life, reminding us of Christ’s good words, His good works, His good news. The Holy Spirit hears us, watches us, and through the Word He guides us throughout our lives.
He is the Comforter, bringing us the presence of the Triune God amid life’s struggles, reminding us that we are not alone. Through the Word He applies to us the good gospel news we need in every situation. He gives us peace.
The Holy Spirit brings us the promises that Christ won on our behalf, and this happens in no more tangible way than at our Lord’s Table, where the Holy Spirit forgives sin and strengthens faith through Christ’s words and His body and blood in the bread and wine.
Today as you come to the table, rejoice that Christ has not left you alone but has given, and continues to pour out, His Spirit that you would have an Advocate, Counsellor, and Comforter.
Prepare to receive such a gift by reading through the questions on LSB 329- 330. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to talk to the pastors or elders.
