There are some things in the Christian life you can do alone, but there are some things Jesus designed us to do together. James 5 is one of those passages. James isn’t describing an isolated Christian. He is describing life in the congregation.
Today we come to the Lord’s table. Communion is another practice Jesus never intended to be merely private. the Lord’s Supper reminds us that we don’t just belong to Christ; because we belong to Christ, we belong to one another.
So, today we are going to do what the church has been doing for 2,000 years. We are going to come together. We are going to examine our hearts. We are going to confess our sins. We are going to pray for one another, and we are going to remember Jesus together. Come to the table.
