(Missioncast) What Is Jesus Known For (Psalm 111:4; 1 Cor 10:16)

Jeff and Mim discuss the question: What is Jesus best known for among people throughout the world? Would people talk about his miracles? If so, which ones? Would they talk about his parables and teachings? If so, which ones? Would they talk of his crucifixion, death and resurrection? They ponder whether we would know anything of Jesus (what he said and did) were it not for his crucifixion and resurrection. Jeff shares a personal story of his first communion when the gospel of Jesus Christ, the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting, became a living message of hope for him. Jeff also draws attention to Rembrandt’s paint of Jesus breaking bread with the two disciples in Emmaus — only then did they recognize him as the Christ. We can know Jesus today in his word and in his cup of blessing. What does communion mean for you?
