God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Biblical understanding of the Lord’s Supper: 1. An act of obedience. a. “Do this in remembrance of Me” – I Cor. 11:24. b. An ordinance of the Church, ordained by Jesus as obedient act of remembrance. 2. An act of identification. a. “Eat the Lord’s Supper” - I Cor. 11:20. b. Jesus hosts the Supper for those who know Him and are identified with Him. 3. An act of covenant. a. “This cup is the new covenant in My blood” – I Cor. 11:25. b. New arrangement between God and men in Jesus Christ. 4. An act of participation. a. “Communion in the blood and body of Jesus” – I Cor. 10:16. b. Unified in “common union” of fellowship around Jesus Christ. 5. An act of thanksgiving. a. “When He had given thanks He broke bread” – I Cor. 11:24. b. Eucharist is transliteration of Greek “to give thanks.” 6. An act of representation. a. “This is My body...this is My blood” – I Cor. 11:24, 25. b. Must avoid crass materialistic literalism. 7. An act of commemoration. a. “Do this in remembrance of Me” – I Cor. 11:24. b. A memorial observance. 8. An act of examination. a. “Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat” – I Cor. 11:28. b. Self-examination . 9. An act of proclamation. a. “As oft as you eat...you proclaim the Lord’s death” – I Cor. 11:26. b. We proclaim that we are believers in the efficacy of Christ’s death, resurrection and life. 10. An act of anticipation. a. “You proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” – I Cor. 11:26. b. Expectation of the consummation of Jesus’ work.
James Fowler

Whenever and whatever God creates, it’s an act of powerful, irresistible grace. Nothing forces God to speak. He only speaks when He wants to. But when He does speak, things happen… God speaking is God acting… When the voice of God rings out in gracious, creative power, not even death or unbelief can resist Him.
