BREAKING OPEN THE WORD
SHARING JESUS’ MINISTRY (Luke 9:11-17)
Surprising as it may seem, even though the letters of Paul were written some years before the Gospels, they rarely mention directly sayings of the Lord. One of the exceptions is when Paul sets out to remind his wayward converts at Corinth about the true meaning of the Eucharist. They had become all too complacent about their celebration of the Eucharist and, as far as Paul was concerned, rather than proclaiming the Lord’s death till his return they were responsible for his death! To bring them back on the right track Paul reminds them of the tradition that he had received (cf. 1 Corinthians 15: 3-5).
Matthew, Mark, Luke and Paul all hand on traditions about the Last Supper but Luke (22:19-20) and Paul (1 Corinthians 11:23-25) have a couple of special emphases that are worth noting. Firstly, they both focus on the Eucharist as a way of actively remembering the saving death of Jesus. Secondly, they both make it clear that in Jesus’ blood a new stage in salvation history has arrived; a new covenant now binds us to God.
In the early church, the feeding of the five thousand was related in such a way that it reflected the Last Supper. Jesus taking the bread, breaking it, and giving it to the disciples to distribute, all mirrored elements of the Last Supper. What was new was that now the disciples were called to share in Jesus’ ministry of welcome and hospitality, a ministry we are still called to share.
