UCB Word For Today Message:
Just before Jesus went to the cross, He instituted what has become known as āThe Lordās Supperā, or Holy Communion. He said that the cup represented His shed blood and the bread represented His broken body. Then He ended by saying: āDo this in remembrance of Meā (Luke 22:19 NKJV).
Now fast-forward to the house of Cleopas and his companion, following the resurrection. Jesus had walked and talked with them on the Emmaus road, explaining to them that all that had happened was a fulfilment of prophecy. āThey constrained Him, saying, āAbide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.ā And He went in to stay with them. Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Himā (Luke 24:29-31 NKJV).
In a sense, this too was a communion service. But notice what happened to the people who attended it. 1) Jesus met with them there. 2) Their eyes were opened and they recognised Him in a way they never had before. 3) They were deeply moved. āDid not our heart burn within us while He talked with usā (v. 32 NKJV). 4) Then they went out and told others. āThey rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, āThe Lord is risen indeedāā (vv. 33-34 NKJV). If you have ever wondered how youāre supposed to feel or think when you take communion, now you know.
