Review‣ Worship in the Old Testament was
built around a structure of “holy meals”
‣ These meals were a time of community rejoicing in the presence of the Lord
‣ The Lord’s Supper is related to the table of the sacrifice, not the altar
‣ The Supper is a time of covenant affirmation

A broader view:‣ Get focus off of elements alone‣ Jesus is present as host and fellow-
participant‣ The Lord’s Supper is not the altar;
it is the table‣ Body refers to His living body, as
well as the cross‣ Blood is remembered because of
the covenant it ratified, as well as sign of death
