We Love God!

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

Insights from 1 Corinthians 11:23-34: 1. The Lord's Supper is primarily designed to elicit or to stimulate in our hearts remembrance of the person and work of Jesus. 2. This remembrance is commanded. Participation at the Lord’s Table is not an option. 3. This remembrance entails the use of tangible elements. It isn’t enough simply to say, “Remember!” The elements of bread and wine are given to stir our minds and hearts. 4. It is a personal remembrance. We are to remember Jesus. The focus isn't any longer on the Jewish Passover or the night of his betrayal or anything else. The focus is Jesus. 5. In this remembering there is also confession. In partaking of the elements we declare: “Christ gave his body and blood for me. He died for me.” 6. In this remembering we also proclaim the Lord’s death till he comes. This, then, is not merely an ordinance that looks to the past. It is an ordinance of hope that points to the future. 7. To partake of the Lord’s Table in an unworthy manner (v. 27) is to take it without regard to its true worth, not yours. To partake unworthily is to come complacently, light-heartedly, giving no thought to that which the elements signify.
Sam Storms

Doubtless, we shall no more be oppressed with the power of our corruptions, nor vexed with their presence; no pride, passion, slothfulness, senselessness, shall enter with us; no strangeness to God, and the things of God; no coldness of affections, nor imperfection in our love; no uneven walking, nor grieving of the Spirit; no scandalous action, or unholy living. We shall rest from all these forever.
