In Remembrance.

Remembering Jesus

King James Version Chapter 22

19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Remembering Jesus, as often as you do this, to God for His love for you. it is in the remembrance of Jesus. A time to stop, reflect, and give thanks to God for His love for you.

“In remembrance of me.” We are to remember not so much his doctrines, or precepts, as his person.

Remember the Lord Jesus at this Supper:

As the trust of your hearts.

As the object of your gratitude.

As the Lord of your conduct.

As the joy of your lives.

As the Representative of your persons.

As the Rewarder of your hopes.

Remember what he was, what he is, what he will be.

Remember him with heartiness, concentration of thoughts, realizing vividness, and deep emotion.

Do this in remembrance of me. This command implies knowledge of him.

1. To remember is to first to know.

2. It reveals the love of Christ. It is the very nature of love to be remembered.

3. It implies a tendency to forget. It is a sin that we don’t remember Christ more. We should thankfully use every help to memory.
