~ Ministers of Jesus
Christ ~
“We
give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for
you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the
saints; because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you
heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as
it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace
of God in truth; as you also learned from
Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your
behalf, who also declared to us your love in the Spirit” (Colossians
1:3-8).
“For I received from the Lord
that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night
in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it
and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My
body which is broken for you; do
this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same
manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant
in My blood. This do, as often as you
drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and
drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (1
Corinthians 11:23-26).
