Parenthood and Communion: Teaching Worthiness and Remembrance

📖 Introduction

Parenthood is a profound journey filled with opportunities to guide, nurture, and teach. Among the many lessons we impart, teaching our children about communion is deeply significant. Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is a sacred practice instituted by Jesus to remember His sacrifice and embody the unity of believers.

One common question parents face is: Should children take communion? This question touches on important themes about worthiness and remembrance, as well as understanding the spiritual maturity required. Communion is not just a ritual but a heartfelt proclamation of faith in Jesus' death and resurrection.

As parents, we want our children to approach the Lord’s Table with reverence and comprehension, recognizing it as a time to reflect on Jesus’ body broken and blood shed for us.

Throughout this 7-day study, we will dive deep into Scripture to uncover what the Bible says about taking communion, what it means to be worthy (not in a perfect sense but in humility and faith), and how parents can lovingly prepare their children. We will explore the balance between innocence and understanding, helping children grasp the significance of this sacred act.

Let’s embark on this journey to help our children cherish communion as a beautiful reminder of God’s love and grace, equipping them to participate thoughtfully and joyfully in the Lord’s Table.
