Thought of the Week: The Lord's Supper

The Lord’s Supper is a time in which Christians gather together for a specific reason. The question this author would like to ask is, “What is on your mind during this time?” Does one spend time reflecting about the football game which occurred a day or two ago? Maybe the one playing later in the evening? Is one focused on something which occurred during the week? Perhaps a troubling event? Please remember the focus during that time should not be on any outside event. The focus of the Christian should be on the cross and all that it means to the children of God. “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, 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 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.” (1 Cor. 11:23-26).
