-Which Matters Most?

As we took Communion one Sunday morning, I heard a small boy asking, “What’s that, Daddy?”

The father explained the meaning of the bread. Then he prayed. The boy was quiet until the cup was passed. “What’s that daddy?” His father again explained. Then he prayed.

I chuckled at the colossal task the father was tackling. When I turned to give him a knowing nod, I realized it was David Robinson, NBA basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs. On his lap was his six-year-old son. Less that 24 hours earlier David had led the Spurs in scoring in a playoff game. In 24 hours he’d be doing the same in Phoenix. But sandwiched between nationally televised, high-stakes contests was David, the dad—-explaining Communion to David, the son.

Which matters most? What will make the biggest difference? Watching his dad play basketball or hearing him whisper a prayer?

-1 Corinthians 11:23-26 NASB / The Lord's Supper
(vs.23) For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
(v26) For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
