The power of remembering. When God remembers amazing things happen, a nation is brought out of bondage, a people is returned to their homeland, a Messiah is sent at the appointed time.
Yeshua commanded His disciples to remember. His love is unequivocally demonstrated by His willing sacrifice on the cross. His body broken for us is the unshakeable, undeniable proof of how far He is willing to go to demonstrate His love for us. There is a power given to us, a strong reminder of His love that will help to carry us through all the shaking that is ever increasing in this evil age. His command to remember is a command of love and mercy, we need to remember.
Yeshua commanded His disciples to remember His blood, His Life, sealing the New Covenant. The power that we need to walk in the Spirit, to live by the Spirit is found in His Life and His Life is in the blood. We remember and we partake of that blood and a very real impartation of His life takes place as we drink.
That is the reality of communion, whether as part of a larger community meal or as a standalone event.
We remember!
