God ordained the celebration of communion service on the first day of every week. He did not want his people to lose touch with what happened at the Place of the Skull. So, the night before he was betrayed, Jesus instituted the celebration of a new feast, called the Lord's Supper. He wanted his disciples to remember that his sacrificial atonement was the foundation of their salvation. Therefore, he commanded, that in breaking the bread and drinking of the fruit of the vine the purpose of the feast must be maintained as a memorial: Do this in memory of me (Luke 22:19).
This book is a collection of communion talks that are designed to increase our understanding and appreciation of the sacrifice Jesus made for our salvation. Hopefully these readings will help focus our attention more deeply on the celebration of the supper. Those serving at the table are welcome to provide a reading from this book as a supplement to their serving.
