Who is worthy?
Beggar's hands, palms face upward, touching
That's how I come to the Lord's Supper
Unworthy, undeserving, needing life/forgiveness/hope
Yet Jesus says, "My body given for you, my blood shed for you."
What does this mean?
Worthy are the unworthy!
(the beggars, the struggling, the repenting)
Unworthy are the worthy!
(self-congratulatory achievers who pretend to have their acts together
tragically, at times, that's been me)
So many need to hear these words "given for you" and "shed for you"
As we leave the Lord's Supper, having tasted Jesus
May people see His Body in us
Eat what you are
So that you may become what you eat!
