We don't change the message, the message changes us. 

Scripture ...
Luke 22:19-20

Reflections ...

Now Jesus takes unleavened bread from the Passover table, and makes it a new memorial. The Son of God—God’s own Passover Lamb—miraculously joins His own body to the bread and His own blood to the wine. As we eat the bread and wine we receive that same body and blood that was nailed to the cross and poured out of His wounds. Jesus Christ gives us a vivid reminder that He has taken away the sins of the world through His suffering and death. Sealed by His body and blood, we are safe and secure, assured the angel of death will pass over us on Judgment Day.

It is a new covenant, a new binding agreement by which God our Father promises to accept Christ’s sacrifice in our place, and to give us full forgiveness and peace for Jesus’ sake. And it is Jesus’ new testament—His will which is in full force ever since His death—giving to us forgiveness, peace and everlasting life in God’s presence.

Prayer ... 
Lord Jesus, in the wondrous meal of Holy Communion, You give us Your very body and blood to forgive our sins, and reassure us of Your complete and free forgiveness. Help me treasure this precious meal always, and to remember Your death until You come again. Amen.
