When the Lord walked with the two unnamed disciples on the road to Emmaus, the conclusion of the affair, as they narrated it, was that the Lord was known by them “in the breaking of the bread” (v. 35). The breaking of the bread in this scriptural usage clearly refers to the sacrament, and means we are also invited to come to know Christ better by this means. We do this by communing with Him in faith.
We also see this as a sacramental observance because in this incident the Lord Jesus saw to it that His Supper was made such by His Word that went before it. As the two put it, their hearts burned within them, as He talked with them by the way, and opened the Scriptures to them.
In the context of Christian worship, grace is never divided against itself. Every Christian who grows in grace is growing in Christ, and while Christ’s body was broken, Christ is not divided. His body was broken in order to be restored whole in the resurrection.
This means that in this part of the service, or in that one, you will never get a better Christ. But if you are given faith to understand the flow and direction of the service, as the Word sets it forth, when we come to the Supper, you will get Christ better. Never look for a better Christ; there is none. Always look to see Christ better.
