The Lord's Supper

Shaun Kearney

This supper is first of all a memorial. If you want to keep something in mind from generation to genera-tion, you may attempt it in many ways. We observe special times, referring to them as Red-letter days, like as Christmas Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, etc. You may erect a monument or a statue to it; or you could engrave a record of it on a brass plaque in a church. You may write it upon marble. There are many ways of preserving memorials, but this is a memorial with a difference. For it is not a record of some ones life, but their DEATH. Most memorials are erected to remember the lives of individuals, but not this one, for if He did not die we are lost. A living Christ will not suffice, the Lamb must die, that we might live! Can you imagine what would happen if the President of the United States announced that the government was going to abolish the observance of "Independence Day." What would the people have to say about that? Well we have something far more important to remember than the birth of a nation. It can be seen that among the populous at large that one of the best ways of remembering a fact is to have some ceremony connected with it, which is frequently performed, so as to keep its memory alive. Turning our thoughts to something infinitely higher, I cannot conceive of a better method of keeping the death of Christ alive in our minds than to meet together to break bread, and partake of the fruit of the vine in memory of His death. Other facts may be forgotten; this one never can be. And at the very least every week believers should meet together for the breaking of bread in remembrance of Christ's cross and passion, His precious death and burial. So that those great facts can never pass out of mind Jesus said to His disciples, "This do in remembrance of me." Order book Download PDF - 425Kb
