While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Matthew 26:26
Have you experienced any little deaths this past year? There are several little deaths I’ve endured… death of predictability, death of status quo, death of my pride. Death is not only a part of life, death is a necessary step for life. One of the greatest struggles many admirers of Jesus have is that they want the life without the death; the resurrection without the cross. In some strange way, this past year has forced everyone to face their demons and embrace the death we’ve perennially ignored.
