Enjoying His Meal Read: 1 Corinthians 11.23-34 Bible in a Year: Judges 16-18; Luke 7.1-30 Do this in remembrance of Me. ”1 Corinthians 11:24 It's not about the table, whether it's square or round. It's not about the chairs plastic or wooden. It's not about the food, although it helps if it has been cooked with love. A good meal is enjoyed when we turn off the TV and our cell phones and concentrate on those we'™re with. I love gathering around the table, enjoying a good chat with friends and family and talking about a multitude of topics. However, instant technology has made it difficult. Sometimes we are more concerned about what others sometimes miles away ”have to say than what the person just across the table is saying. We have been invited to another meal at the table when we come together in one place to celebrate the Lord'™s Supper. It'™s not about the church, if it'™s big or small. It'™s not about the type of bread. It'™s about turning off our thoughts from our worries and concerns and focusing on Jesus. When was the last time we enjoyed being at the Lord'™s Table? Do we enjoy His presence, or are we more concerned with what's going on somewhere else? This is important, for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes 1 Cor. 1.:26 I want to learn, dear Lord, when I sit at Your Table, to concentrate only on Your great love and sacrifice for us. Help me to enjoy the fellowship of others as we remember together what Jesus did for us at Calvary. Remembering Christ'™s death gives us courage for today and hope for tomorrow. [/B

"Do this in rememberance of me" is a command, so is. "Do not give up the habit of meeting together." He said do it, that's good enough for me. Mind you the hardest one I struggle with is, "Do not worry ....." Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.
