Remembrance [from October 26, 2011]

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?
