Do This

Why a meal?

“Why bread and wine? Why didn’t Jesus say, ‘Say this in remembrance of me’? Why give us physical substances to eat and drink? I sometimes wonder whether some evangelicals would prefer it if we did indeed drop the bread and wine and replace them with a form of words.” (Tim Chester, A Meal With Jesus, p127)

“After all this has been said, remember Jesus didn’t say, ‘Think about this in remembrance of me.’ The Lord’s Supper serves its purposes not when it is written about in books, but when it’s shared in Christian community.” (p133)
