Worlds Longest Table
April 5, 2012
On Sunday, July 18, 2010, one of the busiest highways in Europe became what some called the longest table in the world. Officials closed a 60-kilometer (37-mile) section of the A40 Autobahn in Germanys Ruhr region so people could walk and bicycle or sit at one of 20,000 tables set up on the roadway. An estimated 2 million people came to enjoy an event the director hoped would connect people from many cultures, generations, and nations.
This event made me think of an even grander table around which believers gather to share the Lords Supper. During communion, we remember Jesus death for us as we anticipate the culmination of history at His return.
Just before Jesus was crucified, He shared the Passover meal with His disciples, telling them, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Fathers kingdom (Matt. 26:29).
The Lords Table unites everyone Christ has redeemed by His blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation (Rev. 5:9). One day, in a scene of reunion and joy, all who belong to Jesus will sit down together with Him at a table that will dwarf the Autobahn gathering. We joyfully anticipate sharing that table together!
Here we gather to remember,
In the breaking of the bread,
Jesus, who for us was broken,
And is now our living Head. Anon.
Christs love creates unity out of diversity.
Read: Matthew 26:26-30

I have had it with today, so I am out the door for home. One stop for my Mom's punch, and then home.
Oh...I got her a new printer and it is set up. Now she has to rearrange everything on her desk to accommodate it. LOL!
