Thursday, April 1, 2021 No Ordinary Meal "And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me'" (Luke 22:19 NKJV). When Jesus gathered His disciples together in the Upper Room, they didn't know it was the Last Supper. He didn't say, "The Last Supper is officially beginning. Take your seat behind this table right here, and let's all sit on one side." That isn't the way it was. They had a lot of meals together, meals that would have lasted for hours around a table that was low to the ground. There would have been times of fun, laughter, and even some profound moments. However, the meal that day wasn't like any other meal. Jesus wasn't acting as He normally did. There was a heaviness, a seriousness, about Him. Holding the bread and breaking it, Jesus said, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19 NKJV). Then He took the cup and said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you" (verse 20 NKJV). While I don't believe in transubstantiation, which is the teaching that the bread and juice (or wine) literally become flesh and blood, I do believe they're powerful symbols. They're symbols of the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ. |
