at the table with them

An excerpt from yesterday's Table musings:

"At the Last Supper, the Lord Jesus presented a new perspective on the millennia-old tradition of a seder. Our Lord took the main elements of the Passover meal and invested it with a direct call to remembrance of Himself. My brothers and sisters, come up this evening and reflect upon the intimacy we have with God and with each other in Christ, the broken Messiah, the spotless Lamb who brought us salvation through sacrifice, and the promise of redemption, of a new relationship with God forged on blood-stained wood strong enough to bear the weight of the world."
