Theses words rang in my ears as I slipped into my worn plastic chair yesterday in the chapel--chairs filled with people--brothers & sisters in Christ ringed the room. Centered around one thing: the remembrance table that held the bread and wine.
Jesus instituted this on the night He was betrayed--it was His final instruction before He went to the cross. "And He took bread and when He had given thanks,broke it and gave it to them saying, "This is My body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me."
Remembering with thanks. This is the call of the communion table.
Every week we gather to remember--because we are a forgetful people.
I forget my need for Him. I look to myself and when I do I watch my world crumble.
Like the Israelites of old I need to hear again "look & live!"
Like the 3 on the Mount--open my eyes that I may see Jesus only!!
