Say Hi
PLEASE REMEMBERWhen was the last time that you participated in taking the Lord’s Supper? How do you go about preparing yourself to participate in the Lord’s Supper? Do you know the importance of this ordinance in the believer’s life? Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour instituted this ordinance of the church for us to remember what He has done for us. Later, Paul tells us that we are to be serious, sober and reexamine ourselves as we set to participate in eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ who readily gave Himself for us to redeem us. We are not to be casual or flippant in our preparation. Our participation should be with reverence, humility and sincerity. Participation in the Lord’s Supper is a time of remembering the love that God has for us and should call for a serious self-assessment and repentance. Whenever you have the privilege of participating in the observation of the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper, please do not belittle it and I pray that you will not idolize the practice instead of Christ that it represents.Christ said that as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we must do it in remembrance of Him. Perhaps we are never more the church, the bride of Christ, the body of Christ, than when we gather at the table to worship by remembering Him. May we never forget who Christ is to us that we may deliberately proclaim Him as the Lord of life to our world. Amen.
