🦃 Theme: The Table of Thanksgiving
📖 Scripture:
“Then he took a piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.’” — Luke 22:19 (GNTD)
📜 Background:
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus shared a final meal with His disciples. In that intimate moment, He broke bread and invited them to remember—not just the meal, but the meaning. This act became the foundation of communion, a sacred rhythm of remembrance that connects believers across generations.
💡 Devotional:
One November evening, I sat around the table with family and friends. The food was rich, the laughter warm, and the stories tender. But what lingered most was the sense of shared memory—of grace, of trials overcome, of God’s faithfulness.
Jesus invites us to a deeper kind of remembering. At The Table of Thanksgiving, we don’t just recall blessings—we remember the One who gave Himself for us. His body, broken. His love, poured out. Communion isn’t just a ritual—it’s a reunion. A moment to pause, give thanks, and anchor our hearts in the truth of the gospel.
Whether you’re surrounded by loved ones or sitting quietly alone, the Table of Remembrance is always open. Jesus is present—and He calls us to remember.
🪞 Reflection Questions:
- What does “do this in memory of me” mean to you personally?
- How can you make space to remember Jesus in your gatherings this season?
- What moments of grace do you want to carry forward with gratitude?
🙏 Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for the gift of remembrance.
As I gather with family and friends, help me center my heart on You.
Let Your sacrifice shape my gratitude and Your presence fill my table.
Teach me to remember—not just with words, but with worship.
Amen.
🛠️ Application:
This week, set aside time to share communion—formally or informally—with those close to you.
Read Luke 22 together, break bread, and speak aloud what you’re thankful for.
Let it be a sacred moment of remembering Jesus together.
📌 Takeaway:
At The Table of Thanksgiving, we remember the One who gave everything.
His body broken, His love enduring—our hearts anchored in grace.
