Poverty Of Jesus
Jesus, the Blessed One, is poor. The poverty of Jesus is much more than an economic or social poverty. Jesus is poor because he freely chose powerlessness over power, vulnerability over defensiveness, dependency over self-sufficiency. As the great “Song of Christ” so beautifully expresses: “He … did not count equality with God something to be grasped. But he emptied himself, … becoming as human beings are” (Philippians 2:6-7). This is the poverty of spirit that Jesus chose to live.
Jesus calls us who are blessed as he is to live our lives with that same poverty.

The Importance Of Having An Abundance Mentality
“The opposite of a scarcity mentality is an abundancy mentality. With an abundancy mentality we say: “There is enough for everyone, more than enough: food, knowledge, love … everything.” With this mind-set we give away whatever we have, to whomever we meet. When we see hungry people we give them food. When we meet ignorant people we share our knowledge; when we encounter people in need of love, we offer them friendship and affection and hospitality and introduce them to our family and friends.
When we live with this mind-set, we will see the miracle that what we give away multiplies: food, knowledge, love … everything. There will even be many leftovers.” – Henri Nouwen

Communion Meditations
You can read the theological and practical reasons why celebrating the Lord's Supper is more than a mere memorial, part 1; part 2; part 3.
As you celebrate the Lord's Supper in your church, you can use these communion meditations either projected on a screen or posted in your bulletin as an opportunity of preparation, meditation and contemplation during the Lord's Supper.
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
— C.S. Lewis
"Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him."
— Augustine of Hippo
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
1 Corinthians 11:24-26
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried."
— G.K. Chesterton (What's Wrong with the World)
"We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone."
— Martin Luther
