The Season of Easter

Luke 22.14-20:
When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you, I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”

1Corinthians 11.23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Questions for Everyone: Who was your favorite teacher and why?  Based on something you’ve already done how might you get in the Guinness Book of World Records?  How would you like to be remembered?

We talked about the bread and wine on Sunday, specifically how the eating of bread and wine became one of the central activities of Christian corporate worship.

Questions: Did you grow up in a Christian community that celebrated the Lord’s Table?  How often did you come to the Table?  What did your community call the Table, Communion, Lord’s Supper or Eucharist?

Rob talked about his experience in India and the things he learned by observing the Missionaries of Charity in worship and in their ministry to the very poor.  He used the phrase “sacramental eyes” to describe their vibrant spirituality. 

Question: How might we develop sacramental eyes?  Are the things you do in worship connecting with the world in which you live?  What happens when you begin to “see” Christ present in the sacrament and in the face of a stranger?
