'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
A: At Christ Church in Matagorda.
This is what God did for me, when I was a slave in Egypt.
The Sacraments are all composed of dual natures:
An outward and visible sign coupled with an inward and spiritual grace.
The outward signs were all already in existence before the sacraments were given.
People washed and ate dinners, before Holy Baptism & the Holy Eucharist were given.
Jesus took the existing outward and visible signs, and by adding the secret ingredient, made them into the Sacraments.
The secret ingredient is Jesus.
Now the Sacraments work whether you understand them or not. Ex opere operato.
But we want to understand as much as we can about Jesus so we can serve him better, Don't we?
One of the best keys to understanding the Holy Eucharist is to approach it through the Passover Seder.
This was the existing outward & visible sign that Jesus entered into at the Last Supper in order to give us The Eucharist.
Friday March 26th 6pm at Christ Church.
