Sometimes I wonder why God used bread and wine to deliver grace to us. But then I think, maybe it’s because when we’re eating it’s the only time we shut up and stop talking. We stop talking about our future plans or even our own failures. While our mouths are busy consuming, God gives us the pure gift of himself. You don’t have to do anything special or be anywhere special in order to receive that.

Matt Johnson, Getting Jesus Wrong, 58.
