根据圣经所说，我们知道神特别关怀某些群体，因为这些人时常被人霸凌：穷人、孤儿、寡妇和客旅。而既全然是人又全然是神的主耶稣，也格外关怀这些群体。

耶稣专门行神迹，以丰富的粮食喂养穷人。神的国具有的标记之一，就是每一个人都应该获得足够的供应，就如《约翰福音》六章11节所说的：“都随着他们所要的”。

耶稣赐主餐给祂的门徒时，祂是在滋养他们的身体和灵性。我们要认识到，在初期教会，守圣餐通常是真实地聚在一起吃晚餐，而不是像今天，在很多教会敬拜礼仪中只吃一小块饼和喝少量酒（或果汁）。我们的教会若能做到供应大量面包和整杯果汁，好让大家能真实地经历到神丰足的供应，就再理想不过了（但这算是题外话）。

耶稣既如此慷慨地款待我们，我们也领受能力并受到激励去慷慨待人。

在主餐中接受耶稣的恩典时，请你试着在心中记念那些处于饥饿中的人——包括在你社区中你所认识的人，以及遍及世界各地那些你不认识的人。

In the Bible we learn that God is especially concerned about a few groups of people. That's because these people are often taken advantage of: the poor, orphans, widows, and foreigners. And Jesus, the Son of God, who is fully human and fully God, showed the same concern for these groups.

In particular, Jesus fed the poor in abundant and miraculous ways. One of the marks of God's kingdom is that everyone should have enough, or as John 6:11 says, "as much as they wanted."

When Jesus gave the Lord's Supper to his disciples, he did that to feed them physically and spiritually. And we should know that in the early church, this sacred meal was often celebrated as an actual meal, not just with a small bit of bread and wine (or juice), as many do in their church services today. Perhaps our churches would do well to pass out ample slices of bread, and full cups of juice so that people could truly experience God's generosity (but I digress).

Because Jesus has been so generous to us, we are empowered and encouraged to be generous to others.

As you receive Christ's gifts in the Lord's Supper, try to hold hungry people in your mind and heart—including people you know in your local community and people you don't know in other parts of the world.
