A
Sacramental Life
By Eric William King
To us [Ancient Antiochene Christians] we try
and live what is called a “sacramental life”. This means that we
try and remember our baptism and its benefits every day. We
understand our becoming children of God; we became sealed with His Spirit. Living a sacramental life also means
participating in Holy Communion.
Perhaps we
remember a personal account in our life with the Creator
- moments when you realized the fact of
His presence. Our entire life becomes an act of Christian
Confirmation. We confirm our faith every day. To live a sacramental
life means to have a life of prayer and meditation on the
Word of God.
A sacramental
life is life spent with wife and God
and with children and God if
you have a family. Of course if you have an animal or two, precious Godly time
spent with them is very important also.
To
experience an ever deepening faith in our Lord means to be growing. Our entire
life becomes a sacrament of Christian maturity. Holy Communion brings us even closer to our
Lord. We remember His life, death, and resurrection. We remember that He took all of our sins upon Himself. Even His sinless physical life is
received in the sacrament and we are fully sanctified through and in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
The Word
truly “became flesh”. “He was in the
world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.” (John 1:10) He
comes to us a special way every communion yet still, many do not recognize Him.
Also, your
baptism is always something that you can return to, it lasts forever. Just as a person
in young adulthood may turn from his faith into all sorts of sin so may a
person who was infant baptized but when you were baptized you partook of a Holy Sacrament that never goes away.
Though we sometimes may walk away from God….He never walks away from us. He is
always there for you. All you need to do
is put your faith back in Him.
So to live a
sacramental life is to “practice the presence” of God
everyday in your life. You will always be glad because your best friend is with
you at all times.
May God
become the center of your life -
