Sermon #223
One of the major themes of the account of the disciples on the road to Emmaus is that Christ is revealed to them in the breaking of bread, which correlates to the experience we have when we receive Communion. All throughout the gospel accounts we see the picture of Jesus taking, and blessing, and breaking, and giving. We, too, are taken by Christ and blessed for our ministry, then broken (separated for various ministries) and given (to the world) so that all the world can be blessed in us, and in the presence of Christ. Christ's very real presence is in the act of receiving Communion, and therefore it ought to be something that we do each time we are gathered together in the name of Christ.
Luke 24:13-35
