Remember me, I’m the one who had your babies eyes

I always liked that line, quite a good tune as well.

We finished our month on remembering last Sunday in BCLC. We talked about the ‘institution of the last supper’, Jesus having the passover meal with the disciples and telling them to ‘do this in rememberance of me’. Do what? was the first question that I am not sure we answered. Also as we don’t have any memories as such of Jesus how can we possibly do things in them?

What has the church done with this simple sharing of a meal and fellowship? We have institutionalised it, we have made it into some sort of rite of passage for a would be Christian. We have regulated it so that we partake at a particular time on a particular day of a particular week. Have we lost the central message ?

I started to write this a week or more ago and got stuck with it, then the other day I came across this. As you can see there are certain similarities in the thoughts expressed. I reckon that my comment on that site completes my thoughts here.
