We all know the meaning of the Lord's supper: To Remember Jesus! Matt 6:26-29. However, do we fully appreciate the significance of the action? This books reminds us of the true meaning of the Lord's Supper, especially those of us who have been taking the Lord's Supper for decades. As Mr. Fleming points out, it is not merely a ritual that we partake in as part of a church service. It is meant to truly bring us back to the Cross and all that the Cross means to us as Christians. Mr. FLemming offers us a study of the history surrounding the last supper of Jesus and his apostles, and how God planned for us to actually meditate on the heart and sacrifice of Jesus when we participate in this remembrance. Mr. Flemming explains what was occuring in the early church, with indulgent feasts of the rich (often to the exclusion of the poor among the disciples), and how this practice was not at all Jesus' intent in instructing us to break bread. We learn about Passover, and the simplicity of the Lord's Supper as compared to the Passover. In doing so, we realize that God intended us to rely on him, with gratitude in our hearts for the sacrifice of his Son. He points out that there is nothing magical or mystical about the Lord's Supper: it is the attitude of the participant that matters. The tone and heart with which we take the Lord's Supper matters! I found this book very instructive and inspiring to approach the Lord's Supper seriously and with a reflective, greatful heart.
