Celebrate!!! by Gary Rose

A simple picture of some squirrels enjoying a "feast". To me, it looks like communication is occurring in the picture. Especially, that one in the back- looks like he is whispering something.

Yesterday, before I left for Bible Study, I saw on the news that someone had done a study about families eating together. And the study showed that a meal without electronic preoccupation actually improved communication, mental-emotional stability and life in general.

As a result of this, I wondered, what about the following passage from the Bible?

Luke, Chapter 22 (WEB)

¹⁴ When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.  ¹⁵ He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,   ¹⁶  for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.”   ¹⁷ He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,   ¹⁸  for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until God’s Kingdom comes.” 

  ¹⁹ He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”   ²⁰ Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

When we remember what Jesus has done for us- does it change things? Yes, is my answer; for our remembrance will lead us to be more faithful. And some future day in heaven we will be thankful that we remembered!!!
