A few days ago I received a email about a priest who gave a dog communion. In the article it was reported it was I called an “act of reaching out”. I am not going to put up the entire article because you need to read the report to understand what happen in its full context. I will tell you that the report said there was a happy ending to what happen and it was pointed out that “one parishioner felt the church offended the sacred ritual and complained to the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. Bishop Patrick Yu, the area bishop of York-Scarborough responsible for St. Peter’s who received the complaint, called the act a “misguided gesture of welcoming.”
I suppose the happy ending they refer to in this report is the following: “But Rea says she’s received a lot of support through phone calls, visits and emails. The incident, which thrust the 137-year-old downtown church into the spotlight, has even brought new people in, she says, pointing out that “Jesus is a positive person and Christianity is a positive religion.”
The person who sent me the report made this comment to me. “Frank, Here is a follow up article from the Toronto Star newspaper. Please review the comments and see how many people (Christians?) think this is no big deal. It is a big deal!”
Is this a big deal? Let me give you the answer from the Word of God. What you are about to read comes from Paul the Apostle and it has to do with the last supper, and by all means it is a Prophecy Sign. 1 Corinthians 11:25-30 “In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.
According to Jesus Christ this is a very big deal! Jesus passed the bread and wine because He knew what He was about to do for all mankind, God was getting ready to pour out His own blood in order to keep you and I from going to hell. I am going to say something that many will not like to hear but it is truth! If you think what happened is no big deal after you read the entire report, I doubt you are really walking in a real personal relationship with the Savior. Let me ask all you people who claim you are Christians as question. Please be honest with yourself. What do you think the Apostle Paul would have done if he were sitting in that Church and saw the Priest give a dog Christ’s Holy Communion? Do you think Paul would have said that so kind and cute? Paul would have jumped out of his seat and stopped the service in its tracks. As I read the report I noticed that there was one person who complained but it was after the fact. Are you telling me that there wasn’t one person in that Church who understood what Jesus told Paul to write concerning the last supper, and was willing to stand up for Christ and His sound doctrine. There is no happy ending to this story and let me tell you why. The report stated that because of what happened many new people are coming to this Church. I for one would not want to attend a Church where people are afraid to stand up for Christ and have in my opinion watched Church leaders sweep what happened under the rug.
Of course in these last days when many Churches around the world have fallen away from sound doctrine it won’t be a big deal to them as sound doctrine has been replaced with good feelings and a kind thing to do for an animal. This is where it becomes a religion and not a personal relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ. It I were the head Priest of this Church I would take one Sunday and teach the meaning of the last supper. It is obvious the people attending St. Peters Church do not know the Word of God or, they just don’t care.
Jesus told Paul what to write about the last supper and many are not taking what Jesus did serious. Christ also gave a message to the Chruch of Laodicea in the Book of Revelation. This is a picture of the last days Church. If you choose to discount how important the communion is you better not discount what Jesus says to the Church living in the last days.
Message to the Church at Laodicea
"And to the angel (messenger) of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen (Jesus Christ), the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." ' " (Revelation 3:14-16).
If you are attending this Church who didn’t make a big deal out of defiling Jesus Christ’s Holy Communion you better remember the Words spoken by Jesus in Revelation 3:14-16 because your Church has become part of the Church at Laodicea, but there is still hope for you and I again quote Jesus Christ. "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. " (Revelation 3:19-20).
I am calling out to the Priest and all that attend St. Peter’s Anglican Church on Carlton St. to come home to Christ, repent from your Luke warmness and light again the fire for your Savior Jesus before He returns.
My intention is not to punish you for what happened at your Church, but to help lead you back into the arms of Jesus. Let this be the time that you choose to use what has happened to rebuild your walk in Christ and to strengthen your relationship with our Father who is coming soon.
