I See You

 During most communion meditations the speaker will explain that the emblems, the cup and the bread, are used in remembrance of Jesus. They are a reminder of the Lord’s sacrifice — his life, death and resurrection. Recently a speaker caught my attention when he said, “You should see Jesus in the cup and you should see Jesus in the bread.” I was reminded of a picture illusion where you try to find a picture within a picture. As Christians we train ourselves to look for the Lord in our everyday life, but even mature believers can sometimes fail to see Him. Jesus said, “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me’” (Matt 25:37-40 NIV).
