The Lord's Supper

When Jesus shared a final Passover meal with His disciples, "He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you." (Luke 22:19-20 NKJV).



Jesus didn't say something mystical would happen when we partake. He simply was telling us to remember Him in this way.

Remembering Jesus and what He did for us at Calvary does do something for us. It sets us a memorial in our hearts, honoring Him and reminding us of His love and sacrifice for us.

Keeping Him foremost in our minds is essential to growth and becoming more like Him.

Looking back can indeed help us go forward.
