1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ...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.
As I was preparing this message about The Lord’s Supper this week, the words of Jesus, “…this do in remembrance of Me” kept going through my mind. I jotted down these thoughts. (You may want to compile your own “remember Me” list.)
