~ Be Thankful When Taking Part In The Lord’s Supper ~
Series Note ~ This series looks at repetitive specific times when a Christian should take a few moments to thank God.
Scripture ~ “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body.’
“Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.’
“And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” (Matthew 26:26-30).
Comment ~ This is one of just two “ordinances” that Jesus commanded His people to do – the other being baptism.
