There was a professor at a seminary who was like a walking encyclopedia. He could spew out facts and details at a rate that could make your head spin. His life's work was a reference book, thoroughly complete and up-to-date, of all the religious bodies in North America. The students, however, had learned an interesting story about him. It seems that the professor's children were reluctant to ask him for assistance with their homework and instead went to their mother when they needed help. She asked them once "Why don't you go to your father with this?" They said, "We didn't want to know that much."
There are, of course, a lot of children with the opposite problem. They don't bother to ask their parents because their parents don't know the answer.
In the Lord's Supper, God teaches us about his love and forgiveness, not by overwhelming us with facts and figures and philosophies, but with a single event, so simple and yet so profound.
