Evening: Psalm 113, 114; Isaiah 51:9-11; Luke 24:13-35
Since
their deliverance from slavery in Egypt, Jews have celebrated Passover
with unleavened bread, to recall their hasty flight through the Red Sea
waters to new life. Christians pass through the waters too – in baptism –
into a new way of life. And Jesus made Passover bread and wine into a
meal to remember him by. Like the disciples Jesus met on the road to
Emmaus, we may recognize Jesus’ presence when we break bread together.
It doesn’t have to be communion, because every meal is sacred; every
meal invites us to realize that God is with us.
