What do we do when we take communion?  In the book of Mark, Jesus speaks of his disciples taking the bread and cup and that it represents the his body and blood. What does this truly mean?  While on earth, with love and sacrifice Jesus took on the sins of the world.  As disciples of Jesus, we as the body of Christ can do the same to “take on” the sins of the world through our collective voice and resources. We can challenge unjust systems, stand up to hate, confront materials.  Communion is the reminder each week that because of Jesus, and through Jesus we can articulate another narrative.
