Exalting Jesus Together

The early church was centered on Jesus—His death, resurrection, and promised return. One way they visibly exalted Him was through the “breaking of bread,” which in this context refers to Communion. This was more than a ritual—it was a sacred act of remembrance, unity, and worship.

When we take Communion, we declare the central truth of our faith: Jesus died for our sins and rose again. It reminds us that we all come to the table on equal footing—as sinners saved by grace. In doing so, we exalt Jesus, not ourselves.
 
In our personal and corporate worship, Jesus must remain the focus. The songs we sing, the sermons we preach, and the lives we live should all point to Him.
 
A church that regularly exalts Jesus in word and deed creates a culture of worship. When Christ is the center, everything else falls into place. Worship isn’t just about music—it’s about a lifestyle that honors Jesus in every area.
 
Scripture:
Revelation 5:11-12 - Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."

Application:
Reflect on what Jesus has done for you personally. Set aside 5–10 minutes today to worship—through music, prayer, or silence focused on Christ.
 
Prayer:
Jesus, You are worthy of all praise. Thank You for the cross. Help me to exalt You not only with my words but with my life. May my worship be sincere, and may others see You in me. Amen.
