'The Lord's Table...isn't just a visual aid to remind us, as though it were a memory-jogging tool. As we gather together around the Table, we are being trained to eat at the "big table" in Jerusalem. And we're announcing to ourselves, and to the satanic powers in the air around us, what's really true. "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" is a sham. The alternative is not a refusal to eat, drink or be merry. That would be ingratitude. Instead, with the resurrected Jesus we sing out, "Let us eat, drink and be merry, for yesterday we were dead."'
Russell D Moore, Tempted and Tried, p.75.
