Stipulations Surrounding the Lord’s Supper? – Greg Albrecht
Question:
I have a question about the Lord's Supper. Can an un-baptized person take the full Lord's Supper? Our daughter is baptized, but our son-in-law is not. Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
Response:
As with many topics, there is a short and long answer – I shall attempt something in between, in order to cover the “waterfront.”
1. The Lord’s Supper is also called communion, mass, or the eucharist. All have something to do with “the table” – a metaphor, a symbolic reference to the life giving body and blood of Jesus.
2. That said, Christendom and its many denominations have ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
April 8, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Grace is like streams and rivers filled and nourished by the rain. Life-giving rain is given to those whose lives seem to deserve it and to those who do not (Matthew 5:45). The rain (and reign) of God’s grace resists attempts to collect, own and dispense it by those who live in high places of religious pride and announce themselves as God’s representatives.”

The Greatest Story
JFK was greeted in Dallas with flag-waving and cheers, but he was shot to death. Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem to the waving of palms and shouts of praise, but days later he was crucified and buried.
The Cross of Christ
The London Times once asked, "What's wrong with the world?" A famous Christian answered, "I am." That's a profound and real answer. We human beings are what's wrong with the world, but God's gift to us though the cross of Christ is the antidote to our humanity.

April 5, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“The kingdom of Rome, spurred on by the kingdom of the Jewish religious culture, joined forces to get rid of him – through torture, humiliation and publicly shaming him before they finished him off (or so they thought) by mercilessly crucifying him. He responded by accepting and receiving their (and our own) vengeance and hostility. He soaked it in. He absorbed and assimilated all human hostility and hatred … and he forgave it. For Jesus the end of violence is not more violence. The end of violence is love.”

Suffering With Christ
Many Christians see suffering as a consequence for sin, but is it correct to say that all suffering is a result of sin? In this season when we consider Jesus' suffering, it's appropriate to take a look at suffering in the Christian life and why Christians suffer.
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
April 03, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“… the desire to ‘prove’ the resurrection to be true often causes many to become so focused on the details that they miss the big picture… Proofs are not the foundation of our faith. Jesus alone is the foundation of our faith. The gospel is not about intellectual assent to historically proven details…
In the ‘resurrection chapter’ (1 Corinthians 15), Paul does not attempt to ‘prove’ the resurrection of Jesus, but he assumes the resurrection as fact. He simply states that Jesus is risen, and he calls the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus the gospel – that ...

The Paradox of Life and Death – by Greg Albrecht
Friend and Partner Letter from April 2025:
“… I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26).
Jesus says those who believe in him will live, even though they die, but yet, those who believe in him will never ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
April 01, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Far from being an obscure point of doctrine, the cross of Christ is ground zero of our faith. All of the teachings of Jesus are best understood and illuminated by his cross. The crucifixion of Jesus is a priority – a defining part of his identity, and for that matter, a foundational building block for all of us, as Christ-followers. The cross of Christ is an essential part of his identity – it is the heart and soul of the gospel.
The cross crushes the tyranny of attempting to please God on the basis of law while simultaneously and tenaciously insisting that the lavish grace of ...

Towel and Basin
In his message today, Greg takes a close look at a biblical account showing the extent of Jesus' humility. It's the time when Jesus washed his disciples feet. Jesus served his companions by washing their feet when no one else volunteered. In doing so he showed how deeply he loves us.

“Just as the road to his resurrection ran through a cemetery, so too does ours… Living in Christ (and he in us) means our old spiritual man must die.”

Reflections Along the Jesus Way
March 27, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“God does not need nor is he obligated by our religious performances. Sadly, it’s virtually inevitable that the production of religious stuff makes people feel that God is obligated to them. Many religious people feel that God must reward their religious trophies, blue ribbons, diplomas, certificates and commendations. And that attitude leads to pride, the antithesis of the attitude of Jesus, which is humility. The humility of Jesus is the impoverishment of the human spirit.”
