A ordenação da Ceia do Senhor deve ser considerada por toda mente espiritual uma prova particularmente tocante do benigno cuidado e do terno amor de Cristo por Sua Igreja. Essa ordenança tão expressiva tem sido observada pelo povo de Deus em todas as épocas, embora num segmento bastante amplo da Igreja professa o inimigo tenha conseguido envolvê-la em uma mortalha de negra superstição.
O autor apresenta de maneira clara e tocante o verdadeiro significado dessa instituição divina, e destaca as grandes responsabilidades daqueles que participam da Ceia. Será que, ao participar do único pão e do cálice, temos consciência da profunda verdade expressa nesta celebração? Será que estamos correspondendo à tão grande responsabilidade?
Charles Henry Mackintosh (1820-1896) was an Irish preacher, Bible expositor, and author. Active in the Irish Revival of 1859-1860. His first tract, in 1843, was "The Peace of God," and his last, shortly before his death in 1896, was "The God of Peace." Generally known as C.H.M., was one of the gifted writers of the Plymouth Brethren, so-called.
He was schoolmaster at Westport, County Mayo, Ireland, for a few years. But for the greater part of his life he devoted himself to evangelism and pastoral ministry as well as to religious journalism, as editor of the monthly periodical Things New and Old; and to religious literature. He was the author of the Notes by C. H. M, on all the books of the Pentateuch, which enjoyed great popularity, being sold in enormous quantity, especially in the United States.
