| The Eucharist 9:1 Concerning the Eucharist, give thanks this way.
9:2 First, concerning the cup: We thank you, our Father, for the holy vine of David your servant, which you made known to us through Jesus your servant. To you be the glory forever.
9:3 Next, concerning the broken bread: We thank you, our Father, for the life and knowledge which you made known to us through Jesus your servant. To you be the glory forever.
9:4 Even as this broken bread was scattered over the hills, and was gathered together and became one, so let your church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into your kingdom. To you is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ forever. ou are not bad and you are not good. If you think of yourself as good you will think of yourself as better than others, condemn yourself to judgementalism and expand your shadow side. Even Jesus said "Why do you call me good. Only God is good" (Mk 10:18). If I love and serve others it doesn't make me 'good'; it just gives me a way to escape the hell of my own self-centeredness. Didache from The Teaching of the Twelve, by Tony Jones NOTE: no blood, no cross, it's about Jesus' life and knowledge, and it's connected to Jewish roots of David.

That was pretty garbled. Needs correction.
