Welcome to the Eat This Bread Drink This Cup podcast. The communion meditation today is based on a passage of Scripture from the New Testament, Romans 9:30-33. All Scripture quotations are from the New Living Translation and are used with permission.

My Bible reading plan for this week included Psalms 73-89 and Romans 5-10. I was drawn to Romans 9:30-33 because of the powerful imagery used by God to describe His Son, “I am placing a stone in Jerusalem that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall." For those of us who have placed our faith in Jesus, He is the Rock that saves! As we partake of the bread and drink from the cup, these are vivid reminders of the suffering Jesus experienced on the cross to save us. To all who are searching from meaning in this life, don't be the one who only trips over the Rock that is Jesus!
