Do This in Remembrance of Me

Acknowledging God

All Glory and Honor

He Has Risen

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Amplified Bible

The Lord’s Supper

23 [a]For I received from the Lord Himself that [instruction] which I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (represents) My body, which is [offered as a sacrifice] for you. Do this in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.” 26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death until He comes [again].

For Reflection

Received from the Lord, Paul's words make the sacrament of the Lord's Supper as important to Christians as Passover is to Jews. Christians are to remember the Passion of Christ as a salvation story just as the Jews remember the salvation from in the Passover.  We are to remember that our salvation paid in blood is both spiritual and physical. We are to remember Christ's victory over violence.  We are to remember Christ's remarkable grace.  We are to remember Christ's willingness to forgive.  We are to remember Christ's abiding obedience to the will of God. We are to remember our role in the realization of God's Kingdom.

Pray

Pray so that you will remember the Christ Event.  Pray so that you will develop a more intimate relationship with God.  Pray so that you will remember your God Story.
