I am so thankful to God for sending His Son to die for my sins. Without this great sacrifice we all would not have any opportunity for forgiveness of sins. We now have an avenue called the "Lord's Supper" to continue to remember the Lord's death until He comes again. The unleavened bread represents Christ's Body and the grape juice signifies the Savior's Blood.
The problem today is that we are not taking this memorial seriously enough. Yes, this is a memorial feast. A memorial is a remembrance of someone that has died. Jesus died on the cross and we are to use these two symbols to focus on His death. Some have taken the solemn Supper and made it a comedy show, speech about other issues or something to pass the time until the preacher gets up to speak.
This is a memorial and should be treated as such. Paul wrote, "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26). Let us continue to partake of the bread and the fruit of the vine in a worthy and proper manner. God bless us all...
