We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

[The prosperity gospel is] basically what the sixteenth century German monk turned church reformer Martin Luther called the “theology of glory”: How can I climb the ladder and attain the glory here and now that God has actually promised for us after a life of suffering? The contrast is the “theology of the cross”: the story of God’s merciful descent to us, at great personal cost, a message that the Apostle Paul acknowledged was offensive and “foolish to Greeks.”
Michael Horton

Important things take place when believers observe [the Lord’s Supper]: 1. It is a vivid reminder of Christ’s broken body and shed blood (Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-27). 2. We meditate on Christ’s death on our behalf (Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:24). 3. It is a time of affirmation that we are participants in Christ’s sacrifice (1 Corinthians 10:16-17). 4. It is a reminder that someday we will be with the risen Christ in His Father’s kingdom (Matthew 26:29). 5. It is a proclamation that Christ will come again (1 Corinthians 11:26). 6. It bring to our minds that the New Covenant, in which all true believers participate, was established by Christ’s sacrificing of His flesh and His blood. This New Covenant carries both great privileges and important responsibilities (Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25). 7. It is a time of reflection during which participants should examine themselves to see if there are any broken relationships between them and other members of the body (1 Corinthians 11;27-28). 8. It is a time of rich fellowship for the body of Christ in which we affirm that though many, we are one in Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16-17; 11:17-22). 9. It includes a warning for those who participate in an unworthy manner (1 Corinthians 10:18-22; 11:29-32).
