Because our Lord knows our flaws and how weak we are, Christ is aware of how desperately we need to remember what He did for us? The Christian life is based on what Christ did. Salvation is not a truth you merely look back upon, but a truth you live by every day. We were saved by His grace, and we live by grace every day. God gave us faith and repentance, so we live by faith and repentance.----------When we daily remember just how sinful, defiant and lost we were, the more we become gracious with others who sin against us. When we remember just how sinfully messed up we were (and are), then we are more loving toward those who are still lost. When we recall His great sacrifice for us, then it encourages and motivates us to serve others.----------You and I must remember the cross of Christ--how He shed blood, suffered and died for our sins. Because we need help to remember, the Lord established Communion, the Lord’s Supper as we read about and as we will hear teaching on this Sunday from Mark 14.
