We are the body of Christ.
And
we come today to break bread and to pour out wine in memory of him.
The
body of Christ is broken for us,
We
are broken.
I
am broken,
You
are broken.
We
have broken the body of Christ
The
blood of Christ is poured out for our transgressions.
We
are full of sin.
I
am sinful,
You
are sinful.
And
it is only by his wounds that we are healed.
The
body of Christ is raised for our forgiveness.
We
are broken and sinful.
And
yet we are healed.
I
am forgiven.
You
are forgiven.
The
body of Christ eternally bears the marks of crucifixion.
And
we return to this table to repeat the story of brokenness and healing, of sin
and forgiveness.
Because
we still sin, and we are still broken.
Christ
is risen.
He is risen indeed.
So
let us eat bread, drink wine,
and
take deep within ourselves the reality of the cross,
that
on this day of new life, we might find healing, forgiveness, and resurrection.
