I Corinthians 11:23-26

I Corinthians 11:23-26 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. The New Testament church has only two church ordinances: Baptism and the Lord’s supper. It is so very important that we remember the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus that we should commemorate it in each of these two ordinances. Baptism is a picture of Jesus death, burial, and resurrection and our identification with it. And communion reminds us of the broken body of Jesus. And Paul quotes Jesus when He said, “This do in remembrance of Me.” Communion is to remember. We need not to forget what Jesus did for us on the cross of Calvary. Jesus loved us and gave His life for us. We need to remember.
