A meal that celebrates
Remembrance of Him,
Christ is the host
here with us
in all ways,
A meal that invites
all of who we are
to the table,
He took the cross
the chains of death
Became the forever 
supreme sacrifice
once for all time,
The one perfect sacrifice
and we died with Him
and rose with Christ
in the power,
in glory
In reality
in who we are
making us complete for all time,
Co-seated with Him
Co-risen with Him
Sin is finished
death is finished
innocence restored

We are
connected to eternity
Alive in His covenant
Alive in the now
Alive in a powerful exchange.

As often as you eat
by his stripes
you are healed,
In the Power of Christ
Not ornate
Not complex
Yet universes of love,
Carved from wood
Like the hard cross
Is the most beautiful cup,
Spirit of the new wine
the substance of His Spirit
Death has become life
One Spirit to drink
Comfort and strength
Substance of the spiritual.

Thank you Lord
For the table of
the great exchange.

Starting Thoughts: The simple story that is has been re-enacted not just to remember but to celebrate the now, to be in the now, to know Jesus in the now. Now knowing the love and power behind that love, we share this with others.
