1 | Breaking of bread | Acts 20:7 | vacindak | 12826 | ||
The disciples, knowing of Paul’s presence for seven days, did not meet to hear Paul preach. They met for the Lord’s supper. And Paul waited specifically for this event on the first day of the week- Sunday - after which he left on Monday. To "break bread" every day would be a burden, once a year is almost never, once a month is hardly worthy of Him, but once a week perfectly suits the time we have to prepare to gather around His table. How is it, then brethren? When ye come together, does every one have a psalm, a doctrine, a word to offer up in thanksgiving to God for His unspeakable gift? Tom Steere We come, our gracious Father, with many hearts as one, and here we only gather in mem’ry of Thy Son We prize each happy token of peace with Thee, our God! The bread–His body given; the wine–His precious blood. Unknown |

2 | Breaking of bread | Acts 20:7 | Tim Sheasby | 224035 | ||
Once a week is tradition founded on only this one example. If, in a time of great need, a group of Christians partake the Lord's supper on, for argument's sake, a Wednesday, are they not still obeying Jesus command to take it in memory of Him? Having said that it is also true that this was a very early tradition (from other early church writings). I gladly partake once a week but object to it being legislated as the only authorized practice. | ||||||
