JESUS OF NAZARETH [EASTER SERIES]
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poetess
I CORINTHIANS 11:28 KJV
to Tim Casey
When he entered the room One knew
The prophecy had been fulfilled;
Judas had already been paid,
Soon his betrayed friend would be killed.
There were twelve chosen apostles
Seated at the table that night;
Satan was there inside Judas
When Jesus taught them what was right.
Humbly God's Son thanked His Father
Then broke bread, called it His body;
Searched eyes round the table saying,
"Do this in remembrance of Me."
Each man tasted one broken piece,
After that they never forgot;
The sound only breaking bread makes
Had saved them from an evil plot.
Jesus raised a full wine chalice,
A symbol of blood that would spill;
"Do this in remembrance of me,"
He whispered, "It's my Father's will."
The Lord's Supper—Breaking of Bread,
Is done to unite everyone:
If you know His voice you're worthy
To share His death in Communion.
