The Memorial

It's been said that communion is a symbol of unity that has divided Christians for over two thousand years. Over the years, there have been many interpretations of the significance of this central symbol of our faith. We can get so bogged down in the debate that it becomes almost impossible to separate it from the story of the Last Supper as it really comes to us in the Gospel of Matthew. This week we approach the intimacy of that final Passover shared between the master and his disciples, and we come together around the ultimate significance of the bread and the cup, the significance agreed upon by all Christians: that Christ died for us.
