Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
“Do this in remembrance of Me …”
In just a little over a week, we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord
and Savior—something we should certainly celebrate every single day. We
Christ-followers follow another solemn tradition when we take part of communion
or the Lord’s Supper.
Like many things, however, we may take this event for granted. Some churches
have communion monthly or quarterly or as the Spirit leads. However often we
partake, we must remember what eating of the bread and drinking of the wine
really means.
We are remembering how Jesus was willing to experience the horrifying pain of a
broken body and how His blood was spilled to save us from our sins. Thorns in
His head. A cat o’ nine tails ripping apart His back.
For you. For me.
And so when we eat a bit of bread or a piece of cracker, we should do so with
gratitude and humility. And when we sip the wine or juice, our hearts should
break as we remember what He did for us.
Let’s never take the Lord’s Supper for granted. Let it never be just another
ritual or tradition.
Rather, let us always do so in remembrance of our Lord and Savior.
