A Supper On A Thursday Night.

Across the church today many Christians are meeting in small groups through the week. These groups are referred to as Home Groups or Cell Groups.
Our Group met Thursday evening and we shared the Lord's Supper or Communion together.
As tomorrow would be Good Friday we thought that this supper would be taking place at about the same time as the original one that The Jesus Christ instituted all those years ago.








It was a very simple supper, just a small amount of bread and wine. The Christians often refer to this as a feast. It is certainly not a feast as far as quantity is concerned, but a feast indeed in what is implied and what takes place in the heart and mind of the participating believer.







Our hearts burned within us as after the simple supper we shared and talked around some of the many things surrounding this supper.
We talked about all sorts of things, about the two swords one of the disciples had come up with, about what was possibly going through the lord's mind as he drank from the cup that night. We talked about Gethsemane. We talked about the grace of God in forgiving every sinner who desires to be forgiven.

Before leaving for the meeting I had seen something on TV about Nelson Madela's imprisonment in that terrible prison. Nelson Madela said that the prison would break anyone's spirit had they endured it alone, but at night the prisoners were not segregated and they drew great strength from each other.

I guess that goes some way to enlightening us about the reason for scripture that says, "Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together as the manner of some is".

The biggest problem that the world is facing is not global warming.
The biggest problem is that man is unable to get along with his brother.

The reason for this is sin, and we are all afflicted.
The Lord's Supper tells us a lot of important things if we have ears to hear and hearts to respond
