The word for today is -Remembrance !

Good morning,

The word for today is -Remembrance !

 

Let's look at 1 Corinthians 11:26,For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Let's look at Paul, He is giving instructions detailing the observance of communion just as he had received instruction from the Lord. Communion was instituted by our Lord on the eve of His crucifixion. Communion is an ordinance (command) uniquely entrusted to the local church, as the preceding context displays. Let's read 1Corinthians 11:24-25, And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take eat this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.Similarly we observe that it is “the Lord’s Supper” meaning He is the Master of the table and the Provider of the feast. The bread is symbolic of our Lord’s body given for the redeemed (“this is my body” our Lord stated, while he held what was obviously bread in His hand, and can only be taken symbolically). He took the place of judgment which we justly deserved. He died as the innocent on behalf of the guilty.The grape juice or wine symbolic our Lord’s blood offered in ransom for the redeemed. He calls that which is symbolized, His blood the purchase price of the “new covenant.” “Without the shedding of blood there is no remission,” the Scriptures teach. In fact apart from this supper, nothing else is said in the Bible to be done in Christ's remembrance. Read John 1:1-7, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
