I actually have really good memories of Halloween, from the stash of candy, to the “perfect weather” for trick-or-treating, to the haunted houses we used to have in our basement for the whole neighborhood. My memories are more warm and innocent than they are dark and sinister. But obviously, I am very aware of the Halloween debate that is argued among Christians, and I have my own history with Halloween since I’ve been a born-again believer. One thing I do know for certain is that Jesus wouldn’t be scared of Halloween. So whether we participate in the holiday or not, we can be sure that not even the “gates of hell” shall prevail against the Kingdom of God!

Communion is a high and holy moment in the life of a Christian whereby we remember the saving work of Jesus on the cross. Unfortunately, much like baptism, we have tainted and distorted the purity and beauty of that sacrament by our humanness and our propensity toward legalism. May we allow the Holy Spirit to help us truly “do this in remembrance” of the One who willingly gave His life so that we may have eternal life. May we find great joy in partaking of the body and the blood of Jesus Christ in holy communion.
