Do This In Remembrance of Me

Do this in remembrance of me - Luke 22:19.

               Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper the night before His crucifixion when he had the Passover meal with His disciples. And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” - 1 Corinthians 11:24-27.

               Because Jesus shed His blood for us, and His body is broken for us, we are free from the power and penalty of sin. The power of communion is to remember God’s faithfulness, ways, love and His commitment to us. Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me - Isaiah 46:9,10. Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies., How priceless is your unfailing love - Psalm 36:5-7,

            Let us self-examine ourselves and remember the sacrifice of our Lord through the Lord’s supper.  For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes - 1 Cor 11:26. When we eat and drink, we take Christ in us, the hope of glory. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me - Galatians 2:20.

                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for Your body that is broken for us and Your blood that is shed for us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
