Supper Breaks the Walls of Centuries. . . . The Australian Christian, September 19, 1950.
Supper breaks the walls of centuries. . . .
Communion with the living Christ is the soul of the 'breaking of bread'. Pentecost is continued and made permanent in the church when the company of those who rest in the 'confidence that we have through Christ toward God' commune with the Spirit of the Lord. In a world where language is debased to serve the selfish and greedy purposes of men and nations, and is too seldom rooted in a 'gold standard' of reality before becoming currency, it is refreshing to ponder on the fact that Christ comes to us in something done. The mighty acts of the Lord have at all times been the cause of rejoicing and the ground of hope. It is in keeping then that the church's dependence upon Christ for its continuing life and the unity of those loyal to him should be expressed and fostered by a common act of communion.
