“Do this in remembrance of me.”
Reviewing the Basics (11) What means does God use for our salvation and growth?
Truths of the Reformation (11) The Sacraments
“Jesus says that we are to do this in remembrance of him. We remember so that we do not forget. But remembering in the Bible is much more profound than that. By remembering we are actually taking part in the giving and receiving of the gospel. The past becomes a reality in the present. Jesus himself is with us offering himself and we are with him in receiving him by faith. It is symbolism, but it is pointing to something that is very real and very present.”
