Brothers and Sisters, This Supper is a Trinitarian event. Here at this table, the Father who is kind to His children offers us the living Bread of His Son, and He does that through the Spirit. Jesus has ascended into heaven, and is no longer with us in the flesh. But He is with us, both here at this table, and elsewhere, through the power of the Spirit, as the Lord who is Spirit.[1]The Lord’s Table is a Pentecostal meal. Even in Acts 2, we see that the disciples are breaking bread together. Food brings people together. This feast is a unifying feast. We come to eat and drink as one people united in mind and in mission. The Spirit of God says, “Come.”
