Communion - Not A Memorial

Dear Blogger Friends,

 

Here is your inspirational message below!

 

On this Easter day, I noted that we are being referred as sinners whom He died for in accordance to Scriptures to pay for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3). I have read how the apostle Paul explained that. Charles Wesley says, ‘Thus we remember Thee and take this bread and wine as Thine dying own legacy, our redemption’s sign’ as he had mentioned inside the Every Day with Jesus devotional text today. I reflect on how Jesus Christ would not drink the fruit of the vine until He has returned to earth. In fact, the fruit of the vine symbolizes the joy and blessedness in the Father’s kingdom (Matthew 26:29). Indeed, the apostle Paul reminds us that we should die to old self to become a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

 

I also reflect on how Christ has come as a Lamb of God to represent as a bride of the Church (Revelation 19:7-9). I agree with PT Forsyth who has questioned that we could not have the mere memorial for the One who is still alive as present today as PT also highlighted this out inside the devotional text today.

By this, I truly thank God that He has cast’ away doubts in my life like how He did to Thomas to convict my spirit to believe that Christ is indeed risen and is alive in me today (John 20:24-31).

 

Let Christ take away our doubts today!
