“An Anxious Seeker.” You want “an explanation of ‘Communion,’ which a child can understand.” Communion is much easier understood than explained. A child, taught by the Spirit of God, knows what communion is far better than the clearest writer could define it. If your heart is enjoying the preciousness of Christ, you can form a true idea of what communion is, although you might not be able to explain it, nor yet to understand the explanation of others. There are two words, in the New Testament, rendered by the English word “communion,” or “fellowship,” and they simply mean, taking part with another in a certain thing, or having a thing in common with another. Now, when the believer is enjoying Christ, he has communion or fellowship with God, because all God’s delight is in Christ: May God the Spirit teach us all the real power of communion.
