Eucharisteo Unisex Toddler Tee

Eucharisteo: the transliteration of the Greek word that, in our English Bibles, is translated, “give thanks.”

Eucharisteo is found often throughout the New Testament, but there are two places in particular that help us understand the command to give thanks. First, it is the word that we see in the gospel accounts when Jesus takes the bread and the cup and gives thanks to God at the last supper (Matt 26:27, Mark 14:23, Luke 22:17, 19). And it is also the word that we see in the often-quoted verse shared frequently during the Thanksgiving holiday season, “in everything give thanks” (1 Thess 5:18). But how are we able to give thanks to God in all things? How was Jesus able to give thanks to God knowing that He would soon be betrayed and crucified?

The root word of eucharisteo is the Greek word charis, which means “grace” and its derivative is chara, meaning “joy.” Thanksgiving comes from a true understanding of grace that produces joy. Only when we understand our indebtedness for God’s grace do we respond with joyful thankfulness.

Jesus took the bread and the cup at the last supper and gave thanks because He knew the grace and the joy and the glory to come because of the cross.

So how are we able to give thanks to God in all circumstances? Because we know the grace and the joy and the glory to come because of the cross!

Our response to the gospel should be a joyful thankfulness that glorifies God. Eucharisteo is a mark of one who understands the grace that they have been given in Christ Jesus.
