Welcome to Eat This Bread Drink This Cup.
The communion meditation today is based on a passage of Scripture from the New Testament, Luke 7:11-17 (NIV). In this passage of Scripture, Jesus travels to the little town of Nain to comfort a grieving mother and widow whose only son has died. As we read the story, the emotions of the mourners and accompanying crowd at this miracle of Jesus raising the dead son to life remind us of the full scope of our emotions at Easter. As the partake of the bread and drink the fruit of the vine from the cup, we remember Jesus who offered His life to save us. We join with those present in Nain that day who said, "God has come to help His people!" All Scripture quotations are from the New International Version (NIV) and are used with permission.
