Always Remember
23 I have handed down to you what came to me by direct revelation from the Lord himself. The same night in which he was handed over, he took bread 24 and gave thanks. Then he distributed it to the disciples and said, “Take it and eat your fill. It is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” 25 He did the same with the cup of wine after supper and said, “This cup seals the new covenant with my blood. Drink it—and whenever you drink this, do it to remember me.” 26 Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are retelling the story, proclaiming our Lord’s death until he comes. 27 For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit will be guilty of dishonoring the body and blood of the Lord. 28 So let each individual first evaluate his own attitude and only then eat the bread and drink the cup. (1 Corinthians 11:23-18 The Passion)
Each time we take communion; eat the bread and drink the wine, we can, and should, remember. Remember what was done for us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. What a privilege we have because of His supreme sacrifice. We should never take the privilege of being a child of God for granted but always remember.
Once again today, Father, I will remember and thank You for the privilege I have to be called Your child. The sacrifice of Your Son made this possible, and I am forever grateful. AMEN
My God, what a privilege to worship You. You are my Creator and I belong to You. I come and bring a thank offering to You and affectionately bless Your beautiful Name! Psalm 100
