Explain the meaning and significance of Sabbath worship for Christians today.

The Eucharist means a lot to Christians, as it is a reminder of what happened at the last supper. They thank and praise God for the resurrection and it is a very important part of the service. However, Quakers and the Salvation Army do not celebrate the Eucharist because they believe that the most important part of Christian worship is to accept Jesus in their hearts. Some Christians believe that Jesus is present with them when they take the Eucharist in a real and special way. Taking the bread and wine at a weekly service is different for each denomination. Roman Catholics believe that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus Christ while Baptists believe that the bread and wine are symbols of Jesus Christ. Denominations even have different kinds of bread and wine. Most denominations use real bread apart from Catholics and the Church of England, which use wafers instead. Methodists and Baptist do not have real wine; instead, they use juice.

 Going to church affects many people in different ways. It may make people more loving, more hopeful and more forgiving. It gives a comfort to the bereaved, reminds people to pray for the sick and helps people deal with dilemmas and spiritual emotions. Christians believe that going to church is a special time when Christians may take the stress out of every day life and relax and rejoice in God, leaving the church feeling much more relieved and happy. Many Christians listen to a sermon and believe that this is what God wants them to do, so they leave church with a task, for instance: caring for someone or giving money to the poor. When going up for the Eucharist, some Christians are reminded of Gods forgiveness and give them a sense of needing to forgive someone.

In conclusion, Sabbath worship is very important to Christians in today’s society as it is a time when we can relax and relieve the stress that everyday life gives us. It is a time for rejoicing in the Lord by taking the Eucharist; it is also a time when Christians can learn and understand what God was trying to teach us when he sent down his son, Jesus.
