Eyes Opened: Known In The Breaking Of Bread

[Mr. M]

Luke 24:

 15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned,

that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. 

16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

30 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them,

that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 

31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him;

and He vanished from their sight.

32 And they said to one another, Did not our heart burn within us

while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?

33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found

the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 

34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 

35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road,

and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.

You're right, there is something about holding communion that reveals Christ to us. Any meal shared in His Name, not just a wafer circle and some juice. When we really celebrate Him with a FEAST, and not just pray to him while fasting, I believe it's a very special gesture unto the Lord.

Let our eyes be opened! Stay blessed, Shalom.

The breaking of bread  indicates fellowship. God opening our eyes to the spiritual things of God  

[Who me]

Whether one calls it communion,  .order supper etc etc, it is how we both approach it and how we are lead to it by the minister that is important.

We are reminded of what we were, what we are and what it cost both Jesus and God the Father  to save us.

Who cannot but be moved by contemplating what happened in the garden, on that hill and at that tomb.

 

It is a strange  service full of awesome  events, horrific  acts and mind blowing consequences.
