We are called to come to this table in faith knowing that all that we have is the fruit of the perfect sacrifice of Christ. His body and blood makes us whole. We come also in hope. In this simple meal Christ fills us with the hope of glory. By partaking of this meal we have the hope and profound assurance that Christ will fulfill His promises to us; and this meal also is a symbol of the love of the body. When we eat and drink together we are affirming that this is a body of love. God hosts us this morning in this meal and equips us to embrace this sacred triad of faith, hope, and love.
