Something Gnawing at Me!
The word Gnaw is the one Jesus uses to describe "how" we are to eat his Body! That is a much more aggressive word than eat. Gnawing is what dogs do to a bone. By gnawing on the bone they grind off the outer skin and get down to the marrow, the heart of the bone, the GOOD stuff of nutrients and flavor.
So while many preachers in the church today will be trying to convince others of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, I'm going to presume that we all believe THAT. Instead, I am going to ask about HOW you eat the Body of Christ, how do you consume HIm? It is not good enough to simply "eat" and "drink" - we must ingest, we must consume Him....gnaw on the reality of Christ who died for us and has risen among us, and now lives IN us.
Gnaw on that in order to take it in and be taken in.
