April/May 2021
THE LORD’S TABLE
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the
night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it
and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”25 In the
same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my
blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you
eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
When we celebrate Easter, we remember and honour all Jesus did in bridging and
repairing the great divide that sin created between God and humans, thus gaining
salvation and eternal life for all who believe in him.
Traditionally the Israelites celebrated a meal of remembrance at Passover each
year honouring how God rescued them from slavery in Egypt. They were celebrating
a moment in history when God intervened in their plight bringing them, with signs
and wonders, into freedom and the Promised Land – a freedom that could not have
been achieved without divine intervention. The Israelites prior to their escape had a
meal sacrificing a lamb, placing its blood on their doors and eating to prepare them
for the journey. Each Hebrew household was told to place the blood of the lamb on
the left, right and top of the door and then eat all of the lamb before midnight
(Exodus 12:7-8). The blood protected them from the certain death coming to all the
first born. The annual celebration of Passover1 also reminded all future generations of
God’s deliverance.
At a precise moment in history God intervened to rescue not just one people but the
whole of creation. Prior to his capture and certain death, Jesus the Lamb of God,
gave a meal with specific instructions: “do this in remembrance of me” (Luke
22:19b). At this meal Jesus introduced a new covenant that was to be sealed with
his own blood (Luke 22:20). Each time believers, through the generations, take the
bread of life and put the cup of salvation to our lips we are reminded of past,
present and future deliverance from sin. We remember that Jesus won life for us
instead of certain eternal death that was our lot without his sacrifice. The Lord’s
Supper enables us to keep before us, lest we forget,2 the One who laid down his life
for the whole world.

RESOURCES
The wonderful thing about partaking regularly of the Lord’s Supper is that we
remember, thank and celebrate Jesus’ accomplishments gained through his shed
blood and death on the cross. In reverencing and remembering Jesus’ sacrifice and
all gained from it we can also appropriate for ourselves afresh at any time his
finished work. The Lord Jesus is honoured when we remember what he has done for
us. The Lord Jesus is honoured when we reach out in faith to receive the victory he
won once and for all on the cross. We can come to the Lord’s table purely to
remember and thank him. We can also come in need of healing, forgiveness,
freedom, restoration, or for feeding and refreshment and be confident that we can
receive in faith because of his complete victory. This is part of the wonder and the
power of the Lord’s Supper. Although we come to remember what Jesus did, Jesus
offers us a meal that keeps on giving of himself.
Tom Wright writes: “We affirm our faith in the one God who is Father, Son and Spirit
not just in words… we do it far more powerfully in the symbol of the Eucharist. The
Eucharist is all about God’s life given in Christ Jesus to be our life. It is all about God’s
Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus, given how to be our breath of life. As we eat and drink, we
become walking shrines, living temples in whom the living triune God truly dwells.”3
May all who participate in these Praise Reflections come into a deeper
understanding, and hence a deeper gratitude, of the amazing gift Jesus gave us in
the Lord’s Supper.4 They are set out so that they could be used over four or eight
weeks.
As we reflect on the Scriptures in a post Easter light, we will reflect upon the Lord’s
Supper in three ways:
• Remembrance
• Thanksgiving
• Celebration
Over the weeks you are invited to linger with some of the significant remembrances
found at the Lord’s table. They are only a selection of Jesus’ accomplishments that
are remembered as part of Communion. The Israelites participated in the Passover
as if they were present at the original event in history. The celebration of the
Eucharist offers all who participate a similar sense of presence – a meeting with the
Lord in the breaking of bread.5 You are invited to respond with thanksgiving and

There are a number of ways to refer to Communion. The Lord’s Supper, Communion, The Eucharist. Communion comes
from the Greek word “koinonia”. The Lord's Supper is also called "the Lord's table" (1Corinthians 10:21), "cup of
blessing" (1 Corinthians 10:16), and "breaking of bread" (Luke 24:35, Acts 2:42). The Greek word "Eucharist,"
means “to give thanks” or “thanksgiving” (Matthew 15:36, Mark 8:6, Mark 14:23).

Michael Ramsey described that he found in the Eucharist ‘the sense of mystery and awe, and of another world
at once far and near…a sense that we were vividly in the presence of the passion of Jesus and also vividly near
to heaven, to which the passion mysteriously belongs, so as to be brought from the past to the present.’

TABLE OF REMEMBRANCE OF :
THE FREEDOM JESUS WON FOR US
Remembrance
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new
covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
1 Corinthians 11:25
Jesus, with these words, introduced a new covenant that was to be sealed with his
own blood. Each time believers come to the Lord’s table they are no longer alluding
to the freedom gained from Egypt but rather their own deliverance from sin, disease,
death and evil.
Romans 6:22
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of
God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
Romans 6:5-7
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be
united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was
crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that
we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has
been set free from sin.

Thanksgiving
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be
thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,29 for our “God is
a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:28-29
We thank you Lord for your victory over the power of sin. We thank you for the
freedom from the bondage of sin that you gained for us Jesus. We thank you that
we are free indeed. We thank you for the privilege of being inheritors of your
Kingdom – through the immense sacrifice of yourself Jesus. We bow in thanksgiving
before you and worship you.

TABLE OF REMEMBRANCE OF :
GOD’S DEMOSTRATED LOVE
Remembrance
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:16-17
SONG - Remembrance – Hillsong

1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we
ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
John 15: 13
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
1 John 4:9-11
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into
the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear
friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Thanksgiving
Thank you, Jesus, that as we partake of your Supper we partake of your love. You
are the source of love. We thank you for how you lived that love on the cross Jesus –
to the extremity of life itself and showing that love is as strong as death (Song of
Solomon 8:6). Thank you, Jesus, that this remembrance meal is a love feast. May we
be filled afresh with your love as we partake of Communion enabling us to love you
more and to love others in the way you love.6

“The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to
another; but rather it is a Sacrament of our Redemption by Christ’s death: insomuch that to such as rightly,
worthily, and with faith receive the same, the Bread which we break is a partaking of the Body of Christ; and
likewise the Cup of Blessings is a partaking of the Blood of Christ.” The Book of Common Prayer, article XXVIII
Of the Lord’s Supper.

TABLE OF REMEMBRANCE OF :
FORGIVENESS GAINED BY JESUS
Remembrance
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:5-6
Matthew 26:27-28
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them,
saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is
poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Repentance is necessary to receive forgiveness. The doorway to Repentance is as
wide as Jesus’ arms of love on the cross. As we come to the Lord’s table it is good to
have a time of examining ourselves and repenting of any recent sins in preparation
for the Lord’s Supper
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Psalm 32:5
Thanksgiving
Dear Lord Jesus we are so deeply grateful for the forgiveness you gained for us by
paying the price for our sins. Thank you for taking our iniquity and all our mistakes.
Thank you for cleansing us with your own blood Jesus. Thank you for the wide
doorway of repentance that enables us to keep short account with you. Thank you
for your Word that says in 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and
will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.

We praise and thank you Holy Trinity that there is now no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1-4). We celebrate each time we come to your
table Lord that we are forgiven. What a joy it is to know this and to know, dear Lord,
that we are not only set free from the sin but also freed from guilt and shame. Thank
you that when we come to your table Lord, we come cleansed, forgiven and
declared righteous. We celebrate your great love that brought this about in Jesus’
name. Amen.

SALVATION WON BY JESUS
Remembrance
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the
ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good
person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for
us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12
We come to your table Lord Jesus remembering with gratitude the salvation you
won through your sacrifice to take away the sins of many (Hebrews (9:28). We praise
and thank you that we have been justified by your blood (Romans 5:9). We praise
and thank you Jesus that the death you died to sin you died once and for all
(Romans 6:10).
Celebration
… so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many;
and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin,
but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:28
We celebrate your great achievement of salvation each time we come to your
table Lord Jesus. We reach out our hands with gratitude. We know we can also bring
to you those who are on our hearts that are in need of salvation. We celebrate that
they would be on your heart too and that you receive our prayer for them.
We echo and rejoice in Peter’s words in Acts (2:38-39): “Repent and be
baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your

For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the

Romans 5:18
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so
also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.
Hebrews 10:10
And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all.

Thank you, Jesus, that our remembrance of your Last Super is a remembrance of the
reconciliation you bought for us with the cost of your life. Thank you that you
ransomed and restored us. Thank you that when we approach your table we come
knowing there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans
8:1). Thank you, Jesus, that your once and for all act of salvation has reconciled us to
our Creator. Thank you, Jesus, that your achievement of reconciliation was so
complete that we can bring to you our deep longings and desires for reconciliation
personally and for your world.

“Now, should any one ask me as to the mode, I will not be
ashamed to confess that it is too high a mystery either for my
mind to comprehend or my words to express; and to speak more
plainly, I rather feel than understand it. The truth of God,
therefore, in which I can safely rest, I here embrace without
controversy. He declares that his flesh is the meat, his blood the
drink, of my soul; I give my soul to him to be fed with such food.
In his sacred Supper he bids me take, eat, and drink his body
and blood under the symbols of bread and wine. I have no doubt
that he will truly give and I receive.”

unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in

The sacredness, wonder, privilege, presence and power of the Lord’s Supper is
reflected in the following summary of a teaching of Michael Ramsey’s:
“He taught that the sacrament of the Eucharist was so big that he did not feel that
he had finished with it when he came home from the service. It is so many-sided –
worship, praise, offering, commemoration of our Lord’s life and death, sacrifice,
fellowship with the faithful in the unseen, all the many sides which centre in this one
act. He did not need words to join in this act; he could use the words of the prayer
book or his own words, but he needed no words at all.”9
