__ l l l l Gather Round His Table - pg 1 of 11 Gather R ound His Table __ 1 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is My body." Then He took the cup, gave thanks and offered I to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you." (Matthew 26:26-27 NIV) Words by ROSE ASPINALL Music: TRADITIONAL Arr. by Jay Rouse The story of our redemption is the story of the making and breaking of covenants. O nl y It is the story of a Savior who would so knit His soul to ours that He would forever change the meaning of the word. In an act of grace never heard of before, the Son comes for us and He brings with Him a new promise; I will keep the covenant for you. ew It's Passover. The Lord Jesus gathers His twelve around his table. The storyteller embraces them with yet another story. He begins to teach them of what is to come. re vi The tenderness with which he addresses them is both heart breaking, and heart mending. Ah, He loves them so. He is about to be betrayed and he knows it. Have we not all been both, betrayed—and betrayer? He understands and for love of us, He will become both as well. The gift is extended. Oh, what wondrous love is this?
