“Sundays are the worst days to work because of the church crowd.”
I’ve heard people in the food service industry say that.
On every first day of the week, Christians should take the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7). This is a special time of worship when we remember the death of Jesus, the Son of God, Who loved us—despite ourselves—and endured the torture of crucifixion for our well-being.
How can we meaningfully observe such a memorial and mistreat someone over a mistake in a lunch order?
Shouldn’t our reflection upon what Jesus has done for us change how we treat others?
After washing the feet of the disciples, in a display of humble service, our Savior said, “I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you” (John 13:15, Unless otherwise stated: Scripture is taken from the New King James Version®.

After giving His life in our place and resurrecting from the dead, Jesus told his disciples to go make more disciples (Matt 28:18-20). He didn’t say to turn people away from him because of petty complaints and an immature perspective on life and eternity.
How can we draw anyone to faithful submission to our Lord if we haven’t even submitted? How are we influencing the world?
Does the memorial of what Christ did in your life change the life you live between the Suppers?
