IN REMEMBRANCE
IN REMEMBRANCE
I Corinthians 11:23-26
INTO: As we have observed and taken the Lord's Supper this morning it is a good time to reflect on the meaning of this ordinance. Jesus said that we should do it in remembrance of him. So lets:
REMEMBER
HIS DEATH
Substitute for us. John 3:14-17; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 6:23.
Voluntary John 10:18.
Out of love
HIS LIFE
To reveal God's love.
His power
His promise
His victory over death
His present presence, Matthew 28:20.
RESPOND
Faith in Him as Savior
Gratitude for His love and sacrifice
Experience joy and peace
Service to Him and for Him
CALL TO COMMITMENT: If you are here today and have not responded to Jesus in accepting Him as your Savior, then that is the response called for now. If you have, then will you accept His love, joy, and peace, and live thankfully?
EMPHASIS: I wanted to emphasize that when we come to remember Jesus' death or His life, we must respond in faith and obedience.
