What would Jesus drink?

It has been well said that while the Christian drinks to remember, the unbeliever drinks to forget. The unbeliever uses wine to drown his misery, to forget his fellows, and to forget his Creator. Contra the unbeliever, Christ commanded his followers to drink wine "in remembrance of me."

In the preaching of the Word of God we hear God's voice; but in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper we feel God's kiss. The Lord's Supper is not only a sensual reminder; it is a sensual communication that God loves us so much that he actually drinks and eats with us!

God has created us to really enjoy life. This is his gift to us. Everything that God has made is there simply to be enjoyed. Our God is a God of delight who has created us to enjoy our lives, our leisure, and every aspect of our humanity. Christ has come to redeem us that we might fully enjoy the great glory of His creation forever.

We are jolly fellows, we Germans; we eat, and drink, and sing, and break our glasses . . .
