While they were eating,he took bread, said the blessing,broke it, gave it to them, and said,"Take it; this is my body."Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them,and they all drank from it. (Matthew 14:22,23)
Reflection: What was Jesus indicating when He said "This is my body?" The bread? His own self? The gathered believers? You?
Yes to all of these.
Next time you gaze upon yourself in the mirror, see how you gain a deeper sense of responsibility and gratitude about your life when you consider that your own body is actually "on loan" from God. Jesus indicates that your baptized body actually participates in His own life and is to be used and directed for His greater glory.
