1. Is a personal encounter with Christ possible for modern man?
Correct answer: №1Correct!Educational materials: God's CommunionComment:A Christian is not just a theoretical believer. It is a person who is in gracious, or talking in more understandable modern terms - energetic union with God. For ancient Christians, the very idea, that one could be called a Christian and not take communion, seemed absurd. Christians gathered to celebrate the Liturgy in order to receive communion even under threat of death; a person who did not receive communion for two or three weeks was excommunicated from the Church!
Priest Konstantin (Parkhomenko)
"... Where two or three are gathered in My name - there I am in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20). Every churched Christian personally meets Christ in the main church meeting - the Eucharistic meeting, while telling Him his name (although, of course, Christ knows everyone's names! And not only names). On the other hand, we remember that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). As He met with Saul on the road to Damascus, so He can meet with each of us beyond the Eucharist. Probably, He meets everyone, especially in critical circumstances, but not everyone is able to understand and accept it....
