Our Lord has said, "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. . . . For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." John 6:53-55. This is true of our physical nature. To the death of Christ we owe even this earthly life. The bread we eat is the purchase of His broken body. The water we drink is bought by His spilled blood. Never one, saint or sinner, eats his daily food, but he is nourished by the body and the blood of Christ. The cross of Calvary is stamped on every loaf. It is reflected in every water spring. All this Christ has taught in appointing the emblems of His great sacrifice. The light shining from that Communion service in the upper chamber makes sacred the provisions for our daily life. The family board becomes as the table of the Lord, and every meal a sacrament.

Vor Herre har sagt: "Hvis I ikke spiser Menneskesønnens kød og drikker hans blod, har I ikke liv i jer ..... Thi mit kød er sand mad, og mit blod er sand drik." Joh. 6, 53-55. Dette er tilfældet med vor fysiske natur. Selv dette jordiske liv skylder vi Kristi død. Det brød, vi spiser, er købt med hans sønderbrudte legeme. Det vand, vi drikker, er købt med hans udgydte blod. Der findes ingen, hverken hellig eller synder, som spiser sin daglige mad, uden at han næres ved Kristi legeme og blod. Golgatas kors står præget på hvert eneste brød. Det genspejles i enhver kilde med vand. Alt dette har Kristus lært os ved at bestemme symbolerne for sit store offer. Lyset, der skinner fra denne nadvertjeneste i salen ovenpå, helliger vort daglige livs fornødenheder. Det bord, hvor familien spiser, bliver til Herrens bord, og hvert måltid bliver et sakramente.
