The table of connection

Food communicates and receives love

Matt 26:26

The bread signifies the past bread of affliction

This table deals with our past

In the present the bread typifies the body of our new life

v. 27-28

The cup - a celebration of their past rescue

Our future redemption - the blood of a new covenant

This table is the table of our future with Jesus

When Jesus himself wanted to explain to his disciples what his forthcoming death was all about, he didn't give them a theory, he gave them a meal - NT Wright

Blessed, broken and given

The shape of the Eucharist, the shape of the gospel, the shape of the christian life
