For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come. (1Co 11:23-26)
There is nothing magical or saving about this service, it is simply a remembrance of His passion, and a celebration of His victory over death and the grave. We remember Him, what it cost Him to pay our sIn debt, and rejoice that for those who are secure in Him, though our bodies may die, we will not see death, and the grave is but a crossover to our eternal Home with Jesus.
Until the day He returns for His own, or that day when we fall asleep here and wake up in His presence, we are commanded to love one another, to minister to the needs of others as GOD provides, to grow in Him through His Word, and take the Gospel to this lost and dying world. As we go, we are commissioned, as His ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation, to make disciples through His Word, teaching all the things He has commanded us, and telling all who will hear of the Good News of Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary that those who believe may have eternal life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
