# The Power of Holy Communion The image discusses the benefits and considerations of Holy Communion. **Who Should Receive Holy Communion?** * Everyone who is a sinner. * A Christian. **Self-Examination:** * What does this mean? * Comprehend what is going on. * Know why you're receiving it. * Understand the sacrament and your beliefs. **Why does The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) and other groups practice "close communion" ("closed communion")?** * Other groups have different beliefs. * It shows a unity of faith. * It is oneness in faith. * "Close" communion is closed off to prevent spiritual harm. * Everyone can't physically receive it. **Important Considerations:** * Holy Communion ties you to Jesus' death, resurrection. * Heals sickness, damage, sin. * Can cause trouble if used incorrectly.
