People fast from celebrating the Eucharist good friday, but we are gathered by the Spirit to re-connect with our celebration of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday.
We do not want to forget what that liturgy continues to mean for us.
This is the bread that gives life. This is his self-giving love for us.
This is our nourishment for our mission.
Many Christians spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross.
The biblical account of Jesus’ death on the cross, or crucifixion, his burial and his resurrection, or raising from the dead, can be found in the following passages of Scripture: Matthew 27:27-28:8; Mark 15:16-16:19; Luke 23:26-24:35; and John 19:16-20:30.
