You Will Know Him by Broken Bread
The Road to Emmaus: You Will Know Him by Broken Bread
Luke 24:30–35
On the road to Emmaus, two disciples walked with Jesus without recognizing him. But when he took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, their eyes were opened. They recognized the Risen Christ in the breaking of bread.
Each Sunday morning, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) gathers at the Communion table to remember Jesus, receive God's grace, and renew our life together. Alexander Campbell emphasizes the Lord's Supper as central to Christian worship. This weekly practice reminds us that Communion is more than a ritual; it is an invitation to encounter the living Christ and become a community of welcome, love, and service.
Like those two travelers, we come to worship carrying our questions, burdens, joys, and hopes. We gather around the bread and cup, and our eyes are opened to Christ's presence among us. Then we leave the table strengthened to recognize Christ in our neighbors and serve him in the world.
Why go to Church? Because where we break bread, Christ is present!
Each week, you are invited to experience the Risen Christ in worship at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Atchison, Kansas. Come share the bread and cup, find a place at the table, and discover anew the One who walks beside us on the journey.
"They recognize him in the breaking of the bread." — Luke 24:35
Your pastor, See You Sunday at the Table of the Lord.
