About this episode

This episode explores the significance of giving thanks as a sacrifice during worship and the Lord's Supper, referencing the gospels and Colossians 3.

In each of the three gospel (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) accounts of Jesus's institution of the Lord's Supper, the writer tells us that after Jesus broke the bread he "gave thanks." In Colossians 3, the Apostle Paul helps us understand what this giving of thanks looks like in the context of our fellowship together as the body of Christ when we gather for worship. In what sense is our "giving thanks" a sacrifice which we offer to God when we gather for worship and at the Lord's Table?
