Sad story
Christian Century, Oct 30, 2007
SAD STORY: Gordon Mikoski, who teaches at Princeton Theological Seminary, notes that the Lord's Supper helps us to remember sorrow. "So much of our American life is built on triumph and success and beauty and happiness.... The Lord's Supper isn't really about those things. It's about remembering a very sad story ... [about] loss and death." To lift up sorrow and loss does two things, he says: it helps people to deal with their own sorrow and loss, even feelings of godforsakenness. And it helps people move toward solidarity with others having such experiences (Cloud of Witness audio journal, Volume 11).
