I hope we are all persuaded that God’s primary concern for us is that we enjoy His Son as our food. This eating of Him is the true worship, symbolized by the remembrance of Him at His table. By these parables and also in His explicit word (John 6:35, 48-58), the Lord presented Himself as the true food given for the life of the world. There is a feast spread for God’s chosen people, who reject it and thus open the door for the Gentiles to partake of it. There is a fatted calf for the returning prodigal. In the Gospels eating again plays a prominent role. They were thus kept in oneness and sustained to build the temple for the expression of God’s authority.

It was He who said, “He who eats Me shall also live because of Me” (John 6:57). We come together on the first day of the week to break bread and thus declare to the universe that we live by eating and drinking Christ.ĭay by day we eat the heavenly food, the fatted calf, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. The Lord’s table is a testimony of our daily living. The proper remembrance of Him is not to recall what He is and what He has done, but rather to take Him in. To remember the Lord, as we do from week to week at His table, is not a ritual, but a partaking of Him. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:19-20). “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
