MAUNDY THURSDAY - TASTE
Now as they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to? the disciples. ‘Take it and eat’; he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had returned thanks he gave it to them. ‘Drink all of you from this,’ he said, ‘for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall not drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the Kingdom.
I like to make bread, and, judging by thé difficulty I have in finding bread flour, many people share in the love of breadmaking. The smell of the bread as it bakes is only surpassed by the taste of the bread when it is stĺll warm.
The principal act of worship in the Roman Catholic and Anglican Church is the mass or holy communion. It was those stark words at the last meal Jesus shared with his disciples which would have stunned those present. He used the actions of breaking of bread and pouring of wine to communicate what he knew was to happen to him.
When we meet together to share communion we are both celebrating our Christian fellowship and recalling the sacrifice Jesus because he would not compromise.
