Develope a Palate

Develope a Palate
Daily intake of the Word nourishes the Spirit. Jeremiah's Menu is an exercise in recognizing God's Word made flesh in and around me. Eating the Word in a way that supplies the spiritual nutrients needed to grow. The Menu is offered with the hope of inspiring you to taste and see that the Lord is good. Bon Appetite!

Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

Remembrance

The bread and wine are to be intertwined with remembrance.
They are to be eaten without forgetting...

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
1Corinthians 11:23, 24

The broken Bread...
Remember:
        Jesus giving thanks...
           His broken body...
             God's wrath...
                my sin...
                   His faithfulness...

In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink,
in remembrance of me."
1Corinthians 11:25

The cup poured out...
Remember:
       His pain...
          His power...
             my need...
                His forgiveness...
                   His love...
                      His holiness...

For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
1Corinthians 11:26

Paul, by grace, received the bread and wine and passed it on.
Proclaiming the death of Christ and all that it implied...

Remember who passed it on to you -- be thankful...
Proclaim His death...

What and who do you need to remember today?
