Remember me

Remember Me…

One of the ways that Jesus asked his disciples, and us, to remember Him by, was when He served communion to them. Luke tells us: 

19 He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” Luk 22:19 (NLT)

25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” 1 Cor 11:25 (NLT)

And the reason Jesus asked us to remember him in this manner is found in verse 26 of 1 Cor 11:

“For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.”

So, every time we partake of communion we are announcing the Lord’s death. It reminds us and help us to focus on what He did, and not on what we have done.

It help us to realise that nothing we do, earn anything with God when it comes to our salvation - only faith in Jesus. 

It help us to realise that no sickness can be healed, if it wasn’t for Jesus! 

He paid for our salvation, He paid for our health, He paid for our wholeness - not with money, but He paid for it with His life!

In times when we trust God for specifics in our lives,  I want to encourage you to have communion often - it helps us to get our focus on Him and what He did for us! 

And in other times, when everything is going well with us, let us also have communion often, because Jesus ask that we remember Him…
