Instead of Stones - John 8:48-59

Welcome to Eat This Bread Drink This Cup The communion meditation today is based on a passage of Scripture from the New Testament, John 8:48-59. In this passage of Scripture, Jesus is engaged in debate with the Pharisees at temple courts. He defends His claim of being "I AM" by recounting His relationship with Abraham, who rejoiced to see His day.

While we could be there on that day to affirm our Savior, we can affirm Him this day by partaking of the bread and drinking the fruit of the vine from the cup.
