Church in the home Wed 16 Sept 2009, Ten, two commandments and eat, drink, and remember.

Last Wed. we met as a family, Neil J, Viv, Eoghan, Jim, and Orlaith, though Neil P. was not there unfortunately.
The ten commandments, (Ex. 20) were studied, and after that some more commandments running into Exodus 21. So many more things to do in the bible besides the ten. But Jesus Christ rolled them all into one, in Matthew namely, 1. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength, 2. and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Then we moved from there to ! Cor 10 where it talks about communion (full sharing in) then to the gospels, Luke in particular which describes the "last supper" and Jesus institution of the concept of communion, eating, drinking, and remembering the real significance of the broken bread representing the broken body, and the shed blood and its significance respectively.
Then back to 1 Cor 11 where the behaviour in the church and particularly the love feasts was not a praiseworthy item for the Corinthian church, and Paul sets them on the right path with reproof.
Sin and sickness are linked but Jesus has and is the answer.
May we eat drink and remember, and be healthy.
