Give us this day our daily bread

"Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full." ~Matthew 14:19-20
Often when we think of the Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion we are reminded of the Last Supper on the Thursday night before Jesus was arrested, put on trial and crucified. However, the earliest Christians in the years after Jesus’s death and resurrection celebrated Jesus’s ministry by sharing a meal whenever they gathered. They remembered that Jesus ate with Pharisees and tax collectors, with rich men and prostitutes, with lepers and scribes and when he did be proclaimed that God’s grace, that God’s table knows no bounds. Breaking bread together is so central to who we are as people and as Christians that it is included in this Lord’s prayer. That every day we break bread we might be reminded of how blessed we are to have “our daily bread” and how blessed we are to share it with others.  ~ Pastor Eric
