Remember Me

Jesus was quietly spending His last evening on earth with His Apostles in an Upper Room. Within less than fifteen hours our Lord will be hanging, bleeding, and dying on the cross.
Jesus wanted His churches to remember Him for His cross, His shed blood, His broken body, and His sacrificial death. this is why we have Communion at my church -- to remember.
Luke 22:19 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.
20. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
When we accept the broken body and blood sacrifice of Christ for our sins, we are redeemed -- forgiven. Because He rose from the grave three days later we will live forever with Him.
Mercy there was great and grace was free
Pardon there was multiplied to me
There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary
