Are you sure as Peter and the disciples were? Review the times that God has provided for you as he did for those in the example in the OT and NT.

History

This window was dedicated in 1964 in memory of John and Mary Baird, Robert W. J. Kendall and Charles J. and Ann Speel. At the top is Christ breaking bread with the men who walked with him to Emmaus. (Luke 24:13-31) Bread is the means of sustaining life. In the Old Testament, bread was a symbol of God's providence, care, and nurturing of his people. At the left is the first Passover with the Death Angel (Exodus 12). Underneath is depicted the people of Israel gathering manna in the desert (Numbers 11), with the words "My Father gives you true bread from heaven." In the left predella are scenes from the Old Testament in which God provided: Moses, smiting the rock for water and being given quail to eat (Exodus 17:1-6), Elijah being fed by the ravens (1 Kings 17); and David in the temple receiving sanctified loaves for his hungry men (1 Samuel 21: 1-6). On the right panel is the first Lord's Supper. Judas is above. Underneath is the feeding of 5,000 with the words "I am the Bread of Life." The right predella illustrates different customs for receiving communion.
