Brothers and Sisters, bread and wine are offered for us because it is part of God’s economic process. He used image-bearers to make this bread and to provide this wine. He gives us bread, which is alpha food representing the beginning of our day and He uses wine, omega food; representing the ending of our day, as if to say everything is provided for you. Bread and wine are nourishment and shalom; Strength and rest for the people of God. To be a part of God’s great cosmic project you have to eat bread and drink wine. You need to eat and drink believing that God’s word is true; that He will establish His kingdom and the city of man will taste of the shalom of God. Come and eat.
