Weymouth) Can any honest thinking Christian doubt that Jesus meant for his followers to rejoice, not only in the face of cruelty, attacks, hatred, and persecution, but in all things and all circumstances? Whether Catholic or charismatic, whether Lutheran or Mennonite, partaking of the bread and wine, perhaps more than at any other moment in Christian experience, drives us inwardly to our knees, humbly reflective of the life-ruling reality that the Lord has called us not merely to remember, but to follow his example.
