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).

Dear friends,

I invite you to compare today's message to the one from yesterday
and see if you see any parallel themes to the other message. Consider
God's plan. Think about what His Word says. Seek the Lord. These
themes come back, time and time again.

We'll talk about them some more in the days ahead.

Brother Brian
