"Marriage is God's sneaky way to get a person crucified" - Peter Hiett
Many Christians today don't think communion is much of a big deal and neither is sex. As a matter of fact, let's keep holy sex out of the pulpit and let's treat the bread and cup like its no big deal. If sex is the sacrament of marriage, maybe we have an unbiblical view of sex as we often do of communion? We have not discerned the body and blood of Christ. It's just a piece of bread and its just wine or grape juice. Sex is just a bodily urge and biology. We have failed to discern our own human body in what sex is and we have failed to discern the body of Christ in the reenactment of communion.
Sex seals the covenant of marriage as baptism and communion seal the covenant of grace. Just like something spiritual and supernatural happens when you take the bread and wine and place them in your mouth, something spiritual and supernatural happens when two bodies are joined in marital sex and intimate communion. Great sex is a momentary taste of Eden. Holy communion is a momentary taste of Eden. Sex is not a result of the fall and sex did not cause the fall. God made sex and said it is good within the beauty of intimate, holy, sanctified, relational covenant. Sex is a gift to delight in which God calls good. Communion is God's grace gift given to all who come to enjoy it as a communion of delight.
