Eucharisteo

A Greek word meaning thanksgiving, to be thankful.

Envelopes the Greek root word charis meaning grace, and the derivative chara which is Greek for joy.

He took the bread, and knew it to be a gift and gave thanks. We too participate in eucharisteo in communion, and in life if we so choose.

Jesus gave us Eucharisteo throughout His life with thanksgiving, grace and joy then He told us to do the same.
