This morning we took the time to celebrate and remember all that God has done for us. We observed the ordinance of the Lord's Supper today and we did not want it to be routine or just an "add on" to an otherwise full service.
Before taking the elements of bread and juice, we watched a brief clip from the Czech movie "Most" (re-titled "The Bridge" in some countries.) The film was made in 2003 and re-tells the famous story of the bridge tender who had a terrible decision to make. How sweet to slow down, think, and thank God for the great sacrifice He made to bring us to Himself.
I have attached a longer, fuller video here. It is from the same film, but shows more of the story.
It's a story of sacrifice, of obliviousness by some, salvation for others. It is a great reminder of the sacrifice of a Son given for each of us.
Take a moment, even if you watched the clip this morning in church, and view the clip attached. The "rest of the story" is worth the time.
After a time of personal reflection and prayer, we then distributed the bread and juice to all believers and together celebrated and remembered all that Christ has done for us.
May we never forget (and oh, we, like those in the Bible are a forgetful people.)
To God be the glory!
