Breaking of Bread
“And upon the first day of the week … the disciples came together to break bread” (Acts 20:7).
Having been sick and in the hospital recently, I was not able to be out at the Breaking of Bread meeting for several weeks. When I was finally able to attend again, I realized how much I had missed the wonderful privilege.
It was so good to be occupied with the glories of Christ and the great sacrifice of Calvary. Many hymns were sung bringing those glories and beauties before our hearts, and there were Scriptures read concerning the sufferings of Christ and the wonderful results of those sufferings. One Scripture read was, “Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory?” (Luke 24:26). There was worship, praise, and thanksgiving. It was all a very precious time.
Yes, to remember the Lord in the breaking of bread is a needful reminder and a blessed privilege. We are told, “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come” (1 Corinthians 11:26). The Lord has specially encouraged us, “This do in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19).
