scripture

 

1 Corinthians 11:23-25

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." 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 it, in remembrance of me."

 

thought

 

Yesterday in church the pastor read these verses before we took of the Lord’s Supper. When he read these verses I heard them differently than I had ever before heard them.

When our bodies are broken and our blood spilt for His kingdom then that act is an act of remembrance of His own sacrifice.

Paul tells us, “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Romans 8:17
