Remembrance Day: To Recall Jesus

We see Jesus

Yet Too Be # 248

To bring back to mind

On the Lord’s Day, we remember Him.
Like those women who early on the first day of the week came to prepare the body of the Lord with spices and ointment as it was the custom in burial, we today remember the Lord in praise and thanksgiving. We muse on his beauty as the Son of God, his work on this earth, his death, burial, resurrection and position now in Glory. We recall Jesus Christ, the Son of God’s love.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 2 verse 9.

Remembrance: A Request…

Yet Be Yet # 246

The Remembrance Supper

The last request from the Lord.

“This do in remembrance of me.”

This is a request not a command. The Lord does not make a demand.

It is not a rule. It is an act that should be done out of love and devotion.

Luke 22 verse 19

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, this is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
