The Lords Table

This past Sunday night we got to experience an awesome experience together as a church body! There were tables and chairs set up in the sanctuary and there we observed the Lords table similar to how they did during the Passover times. Pastor had a plate of types of food that would have been present during their typical meal. It included a shank of lamb to represent the lamb that was slain to offer as a sacrifice, some herbs, apples and cinnamon, horseradish to resemble to bitterness that Christ went through, and a roasted egg. He taught us why each of these items were present and about the reason for unleavened bread. We had real unleavened bread that he started to break then passed around the table. He taught us quite a few things about their customs and traditions.
It was such an unexpected blessing to break bread with our church family! Tears were shed, laughs were shared, and memories were made.
I don't know how as a typical communion service we've demeaned it down to stale crackers and a swallow of grape juice! I hope we never go back to the wafers!
