[V1] In Remembrance Of Me|| [V2] --- We celebrate the Lord's Supper today because of what Jesus said and did at the Last Supper.|| --- If it were not for Jesus' words and actions at the Last Supper, the Christian church would never have communion together.|| --- By taking part in these actions we remember the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, || --- give thanks to God, share God's love with one another, and look forward to the coming of God's reign in all its fullness.|| --- Communion demonstrates the unity which is God's gift to the church. When we eat and drink at the Lord's invitation, || --- we obey his command and respond to his prayer that the church "may be one" (John. 17:11).|| --- As a sign to others, the Lord's Supper is an "enacted parable" of God's reconciliation of the world through Christ. || --- The Lord's Supper is both a memorial meal and a feast of thanksgiving. || --- In the Supper we meet the risen Christ, commune with saints both past and present, and share a foretaste of the messianic banquet.|| --- Sealed in God's covenant of grace through eating and drinking at the Lord's Table, we are nourished to be Christ's body in the world. || --- The Lord's Supper is indeed "the joyful feast of the people of God."
