| This morning nine of us sat down together with a loaf of bread and a glass of wine to remember the Lord in Bergerac, France. I was reminded of those long ago in the city of Troas, in the northwest part of Asia Minor on the Aegean Sea coast. The Bible tells us, “And upon the first day of the week … the disciples came together to break bread” (Acts 20:7). Centuries have passed since Paul and others were there on that memorable Lord’s Day, but the fact remains that we still have this wonderful privilege, and the truth still stands, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). It is a happy thing to respond to the Lord’s request, “Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me” (1 Corinthians 11:24-25). Not only does it bring joy to our hearts, but to His as well. |
