“…IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME”
Without the bread and sacred cup
I might forget the price
That You, Lord, paid so willingly-
The utmost sacrifice.
Celebrating the Lord's Supper should move our hearts to mend our ways.
After the Last Supper, Jesus Christ willfully and obediently allowed himself to be brutally sacrificed on a wooden cross. He did this to reconcile each of us to God by paying the debt of our sins, which we could never do on our own power. In return, Jesus makes a simple request, remember this act of love He performed on our behalf. Jesus Christ did not have to die for us. He did, however, because He values every life on earth and wants to see each of us sitting at His dining table someday in heaven.This is the point that Jesus Christ desires us to remember; The Christian life is not merely the remembrance of a historical Christ 2,000 years in the past, but it is the present participation in a living Christ, with us now. There is no Christian life without it-until He comes.
