Michael Jensen on “A Meal to Remember”

My friend Michael Jensen has a great piece on the Aussie Bible Society website on A Meal to Remember Jesus and Why It’s so Contentious.

But most of all, we need to recognise that the Lord’s Supper is an extraordinary gift from Christ to his people – and enjoy it. Symbols are never ‘mere’ symbols. A wedding is a symbol of a marriage, but it is indispensable to that marriage, because it is a visible enactment of the love and trust that makes the marriage. Likewise, the Lord’s Supper does not save us. But it is an instrument by which God may move us to trust him even more deeply.
