5. Feast communion - Andrew

God Calls Us to Feast

When our son, Andrew, was three years old, he attended an evening service that included communion, with us. As the ushers passed the plate of cracker wafers down our row, Andrew, who hadn't eaten supper yet and thought this was snack time, grabbed a big handful of crackers and shoved them all into his mouth. We were horrified, the ushers were incensed, and Andrew was satisfied. Perhaps in his innocence Andrew was closer than any of us in his understanding of the Lord's Table as it was intended to be a feast we are given to enjoy. And, feast he did (at least it was a feast for a three-year-old.)

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 English Standard Version (ESV)

²³For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, ²⁴and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for^[a] you. Do this in remembrance of me.”^[b] ²⁵In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ²⁶For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
