Hungry?We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every week at Redeemer, but have you ever paused to reflect on what it is and why we do it? In Luke 22 we find that the Lord’s Supper, also called Communion or the Eucharist, was given to the church by Jesus himself (see also Matthew 26, Mark 14 and 1Corinthians 11), but why? They may be familiar words to some of us, but it is quite odd to talk of eating someone’s body and drinking their blood. What is a covenant in blood? What is the significance that Jesus does this all at the important Passover celebration of the Jews?We will see from Luke 22 that Jesus, like a master chef, is taking many ingredients – images, promises and expectations from the Old Testament – and combining them into one magnificent meal that both highlights the essence and significance of those original ingredients and makes something surprisingly new. Jesus then sets the table, lays out the feast, and invites all who trust him to join him at this banquet.As you prepare for worship this Sunday, read Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22 and 1Corinthinas 11. Pray through these passages with your family and friends, and come to worship hungry.Pastor David
