Chosen, Blessed, Broken, Given

”And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”“ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬



The Father chose His Beloved Son

Blessed Him with whom He was well pleased

Allowed the tyranny of sin to break His body

And gave Him for the ransom of the world 

The Son chose the bread in the upper room 

Blessed it with thanksgiving 

Broke it at the table for sharing

And gave it to His friends and betrayer  

The Spirit chose His people 

Blessed them with the inheritance of the Son

They are broken like the bread to share in His suffering

To be given for all who hunger
