Devotion:
Read Matthew 26:26-29.
It is beautifully symbolic that Jesus used ordinary bread and wine to represent his body and blood in Holy Communion. This Sacrament sustains and fills us spiritually. Each name we use for this Sacrament brings out a different dimension. If it is the Lord’s Supper - it commemorates the Passover meal Jesus ate with his disciples. If it is the Eucharist - Thanksgiving - because in it, we thank God for Christ’s work for us. If it is Communion - because through it, we commune with God and with other believers. As we eat the bread and drink the cup, we should recall Jesus’ death and resurrection and his promise to come again, grateful for God’s wonderful gift to us and joyful as we meet with Christ and the body of believers.
Personal Worship Option:
Reflect on God’s gift of life to you. Spend time in gratitude and thanksgiving.
