Today we celebrate communion as those thankful we are forgiven.
When Jesus instituted the Communion we now celebrate, it was as He held the pictures of His soon to be sacrificed body and blood, and gave thanks.
Forever we shall do the same in Heaven, around His Throne giving thanks to the One who Himself died for our sins.
The Gospels record Communion the Scriptures saying that Jesus took the Bread and "gave thanks" (Matthew 26:27). The word for "thanks" is eucharisteo and marks Communion as a time we His purchased children gather to give our thanks to Him.
That means that we as Christ's Church are celebrating a Communion of the thankfully forgiven.
