What do you think about when you take communion?
It's a small ritual, but as a ritual, it's easy to partake of the elements without much thought, or any.
It's a very simple instruction the Lord left with us, “Do this in remembrance of me.” Compared to the massive undertaking he undertook for us, the requested response is minuscule. But a response there should be . . . an indication of belief, a word of thanks.
And that, a word of thanks at least, should be on our minds when we take the bread and the cup.
First and foremost, what the Lord did for us was all a gift on his part. He initiated it and he performed it. We did nothing. That is, except cause the problem. Our sin drove him to such extremes. He took it from there. All he asks is our belief. And our thanks.
It's what we do whenever we receive any gift; we say, "Thank you.” Without that, the gift is not complete. It's hardly acknowledged. It's poorly accepted.
Jesus made reference to this when he healed ten lepers. Only one returned to thank him. “Where are the others?” Jesus asked. It's something he still listens for.
Not that the Lord mentioned it at the table, rather only that he should be remembered.
Still, the least we can do is say, “Thank you.”
