The Emmaus Table
One of the most popular sightings of the resurrected Christ happens around a table. In a scene intentionally described to parallel the Last Supper, it is during the breaking of the bread that Jesus is recognized. At the Communion Table we recognize and remember Jesus in such a way that we participate in his life, death, and resurrection. In sharing the meal of the Last Supper today as well as at other meals, let us open our eyes to the presence of Christ in our midst.
Food for Thought: In what ways have you recognized Jesus at your dining tables at home, in restaurants, in the fellowship hall, and in the sanctuary? Were you moved to tell someone else about it after? How has your heart been burning after an encounter with Jesus?
