The central key to the Table is not what I do, but what God does in and through the bread and wine. In short, God acts to proclaim his saving reality and presence to the believer. Consequently, the real meaning of remembrance is a celebration of Christ’s resurrection and presence. The service should bring us through the death to the joy and gladness of his present resurrecting power in our lives. Through the Supper, God acts in our midst.
