Thanks Christopher for this excellent meditation from the Word. This helps enrich our understanding of the Lord's Supper every week and draws us ever closer to our Lord through it. What a blessing to feed upon Christ!

Thank you Christopher. Good thoughts and well written. Thanks for helping us break free from our ever-present reductionist tendencies.

interesting Chris! thanks for pointing out the "feeding trough" symbolism, with relation to Bethlehem – never really gave it much thought before.

Which all the more shows the importance of our covenant children having the opportuntiy to "feed on Christ" at His Table. I lament that at present my church will not allow them too (of course it is a PCA church)

"For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever." John 6:55-58

I love that imagery! Makes me think that God loves word-play!
