On Sabbath, 8 December, we will celebrate the ordinances of Humility and Communion. This service represents God’s ultimate act of self-sacrifice, enabling Him to offer us the greatest forgiveness possible, the forgiveness of our sins.
As we prepare for this sacred service, search your hearts and see if there are areas that need to be reconciled to God’s will or if we need to be reconciled to one another. There is never a better time to consider these matters then when in the shadow of the cross, God’s greatest act of forgiveness. -
