Truth Acted Out
Scripture calls Jesus the Word of God. In this service, we hear what he is saying to us. We refresh the priceless truth as we contemplate not just the words of institution, but the Person who speaks in them.
What he did demonstrated what he stood for, so that his word to us was not in wisdom but in power. Example is the simplest form of teaching; imitation is the simplest form of learning. This ordinance speaks to us; it draws us into the presence of him with whom we have to do in our time in this place.
