Long before the Last Supper, God was preparing these signs. Today we glimpse the deep roots of our worship.

As we take the cup of wine in Holy Communion we are remembering again our willingness to share in the suffering of Christ, in laying down our lives as part of what it means to live as a disciple. But here is the paradox and it is a paradox which takes us right to the centre of our humanity.

To receive Christ is to abide in him. Today we reflect on the promise of life, now and forever.

Jesus offers himself for everyone. His gift reaches further than we can imagine.

Jesus does not merely give bread, he is the bread. In him we find welcome, satisfaction and life eternal.

God’s gifts are new each day. We are invited to return again and again to receive what we truly need.

In the wilderness, God provides daily bread. Today we reflect on our dependence on God’s faithful provision.

Jesus invites us to seek more than what satisfies briefly. He offers food that leads to eternal life.

Our world is living through such difficult times. We face immense challenges in this generation which affect our confidence and our mental health, they sap life and hope, especially from the young. We need more than physical bread alone. The world needs desperately to hear again this good news of new life. 

From the cross, Jesus declares victory. Forgiveness is complete and the way to God is opened.
