DAILY?READINGS: Judges 8; Isaiah 29; 1 Corinthians 8
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come. 1 Corinthians 11:26
There are three dimensions of time in these verses. First of all, there is the past, “Ye do show the Lord’s death.” Then, there is the present, “As often as ye eat” and lastly, there is the future, “Ye do show the Lord’s death till He come.” As we sit and enjoy His presence today, may we look with thanksgiving and praise on the past, and with joyful anticipation to the future and in it all, worship Him now in Spirit and in truth. —Robert Gentile
For the bread and for the wine,
For the pledge that seals Him mine;
For the words of love divine,
We give Thee thanks, O Lord. —Horatius Bonar
