SCRIPTURE: John 6:48
“I am the bread of life.”
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus sat at the table with His disciples. Suffering lay ahead, yet He told them how deeply He had desired to share this meal with them.
Taking the bread, He said: “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:24
The cup spoke of the new covenant established through His blood. At the centre of this meal was His life, freely given for them.
Before we consider the life we are called to give in service, we must remember the life Christ has given for us.
Jesus says in John 6:57: "...the one who feeds on me will live because of me.”
Our life with God depends on Him. In this same teaching, Jesus calls people to come to Him, believe in Him, and remain in Him. Following Him grows out of this continuing dependence.
That is a searching reminder: We can become experienced in Christian service while giving less attention to our fellowship with Christ. We can encourage others while quietly losing our own joy. We can keep attending to responsibilities while neglecting the prayer, trust, and obedience through which we walk closely with Him.
You never become so mature that you no longer need to receive from Jesus.
The committed need His sustaining grace. The community depends on His life. Those carrying His Gospel must themselves remain close to Him.
As we receive the bread and the cup, we come in faith and gratitude. We remember His body given, and His blood shed for us. We examine our hearts, confess our sin and place our confidence afresh in the Saviour whose sacrifice has brought us to God.
Paul connects our participation in Christ with our belonging to one body. His grace gathers us into a family, and the life we share in Him should shape the love we extend to one another.
This table also directs our eyes towards His return. Each time we share this meal, we proclaim His death as we await His coming. The Saviour who gave Himself for us is coming again.
As this week's series closes, bring your heart back to Him. Renew your trust in His sacrifice and your dependence on His grace.
The One who calls you to carry His life to others invites you to keep receiving from Him.
