This Do In Remembrance of Me

 

(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.

(Luke 22:20)  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

 

(Matthew 26:17)  Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? The feast of unleavened bread and the Passover happens together, but are not the same.

 

(Matthew 26:18)  And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

 

(Matthew 26:19)  And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

 

Being a Jew, the man that the disciples were sent to, had to have the lamb set apart already, because there were certain requirement in the law for the lamb. All the disciples had to do then was to prepare the unleavened bread, the wine, and the bitter herbs.

 

(Matthew 26:20)  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. All twelve of the disciples were present for the passover meal.

 

(Matthew 26:21)  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

(Matthew 26:22)  And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

 

(Matthew 26:23)  And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. Let’s look now in …

 

(John 13:26)  Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

 

(John 13:27)  And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

 

(John 13:28)  Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

(John 13:29)  For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. Back to …

 

(Matthew 26:24)  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

(Matthew 26:25)  Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. Look again in John.

(John 13:30)  He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

 

Now that the passover meal was ended, and Judas had left out of the room with the taste of bitterness in his mouth from the bitter herbs. He went to the priest and the Pharisee’s to sell Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Judas took the money and later decided not to keep it. He went back to give them the money, but they wouldn’t take it back. So Judas threw it down and went and hanged himself for what he had done.

 

With Judas out of the picture  the Lord’s Supper is being instituted.

 

(Matthew 26:26)  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

The bread shows us the body of Jesus. He told his disciples that the bread was his body which was broken for them.

 

The unleavened bread used for both the Passover meal and The Lord’s Supper is made with flour and water only. Anything else added to it would make it leaven. When making the bread you press the flour and water together until you form a doughball. Then you roll it out until it is completely flat. Then you poke holes in it to keep it from rising. It is then put in the oven to finish the process. Then after a certain period of time, you open the oven door and take it out.

Jesus said I am the Bread of Life. If you eat of me you shall never be hungry anymore.

Look at Jesus, the Bread Of Life coming from Bethlehem-the House Of Bread. He came to us in the purest form, that is, not by the seed of man, but by the seed of a woman. That seed was impregnated by the Holy Ghost. Look at how Jesus the bread was processed; he was in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights, I will call the wilderness in my lesson today as being the kitchen. Water had already been added by John the Baptist when he baptized him in the Jordan River. He was kneaded and buffeted for the majority of his ministry. This processing of the Bread of Life took about three years.

The final kneading of the Bread of Life took place while he was in custody of Pilate.

Then they poked holes in him by nailing his hands and feet to the cross and by piercing him in the side with a spear to keep him from rising. When it was finished as he declared from the cross, they laid him flat and placed him in the tomb, or into the oven thinking that they had seen the last of him. They rolled a great stone over the grave, which I call the oven; in other words they shut the oven door.

 

They tell me that during this process while Jesus was in the tomb, the oven so to speak, that a great makeover took place.

While he was there, in the grave or oven, he descended into the belly of hell, (1 Peter 4:6)  For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. The oven was turned on. Death had to surrender his keys of victory, and the grave had to forfeit his  keys for its sting.

After he had laid in the tomb or the oven for three days and three nights, the time was up, the timer went off; signifying that he, the Bread of Life was done cooking. The Holy Ghost came down from heaven and entered the body of Jesus waking him from death restoring life to his dead body, the earth trembled and the stone was rolled away; in other words the oven door was opened.

Jesus came forth, not as flesh and blood, but as flesh and bones and not as a spirit. (Luke 24:39)  Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

For the blood of the Lamb, had flowed from his body and was collected into the basin of the earth, to be sprinkled on the doorpost of the hearts and conscience of those that believed.

(John 6:53)  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

 

(Matthew 26:27)  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

(Matthew 26:28)  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

 

What is so important about the blood. Let’s take a look at the blood.

(Leviticus 17:11)  For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you  upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

 

Blood is a fluid, more than ninety percent of plasma is water; showing the necessity for baptism in the spiritual body.  Blood is critical to the transportation of nutrients; which comes from food, that provides nourishment essential for growth and maintenance of life. Without the Word of God, the food, the spiritual body would die.

Blood transports gases, which are spiritual unction’s from the Holy Ghost. The blood picks up wastes, the evil spirits, and evil thoughts throughout the body. Using the same vehicle, the blood carries food and waste and the spiritual food without contamination.

The spiritual blood feeds us and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin which are the infections and other threats the devil places in our spiritual body which is the waste.  The spiritual blood carries signals regulating the pH, the salt content, since ye are the salt of the earth, the blood regulates the  temperature, and other internal conditions of the body.

 

Blood is composed of—erythrocytes, red blood cells the oxygen carriers, leukocytes, white blood cells, the spiritual defenders of the natural and spiritual body. and cell fragments called platelets—and a fluid called plasma. Blood is more viscous and slipperier than water. It is also slightly alkaline, and its temperature is slightly higher than normal body temperature.

 

(Matthew 26:29)  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

 

I have heard for most of my life that the food in heaven would be milk and honey. I love both milk and honey but I am glad that when I sat down with Jesus at the marriage supper of the Lamb, that there will be more than just milk and honey, for Jesus told us before he left that there would be wine at the supper of the Lamb and he was going to drink wine with us in our Father’s kingdom.

(Revelation 19:9)  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. There is going to be more than milk and honey.

 

(Revelation 19:17)  And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God.

 

Jesus has gone away but he is coming back again. He is not coming as our savior as he did the first time, but he is coming down to this earth as judge.

Partake in the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of what he has done for us.

Do this in remembrance of me because I saved you from sin. Do this in remembrance of me because that I healed your body. Do this in remembrance of me because I woke you up this morning when you could have slept on into eternity. Do this in remembrance of me because I let you put your own clothes on yourself. Do this in remembrance of me because I gave you food to eat, a roof over your head, I gave you the activity of your limbs.

He asked us to Do this in remembrance of me because His body was broken, His blood was shed, and through His sacrifice we have forgiveness, salvation, and the blessed hope of eternal life.

Know for a certainty that his words are true and that he is coming back for us just like he said he would. It is up to us to be ready for his return.

 

Jesus was not rejected because they couldn’t see…they rejected Him because they wouldn’t eat His Flesh and Drink HIs blood, the cost of stepping into the Light. And tonight, the Holy Ghost is pressing the same question on every heart: Whose approval are you living for? Because if the praise of people can silence your confession, then people have become your prison. If fear of what they’ll say can keep you from coming, then fear is your master. But hear me—this moment is not promised again. Don’t leave this place, this website still loving the applause of men more than you love the Almighty. Don’t stay in the darkness because you’re trying to protect an image that cannot save you. The Light is shining right now. Jesus is calling you right now. Step out of your hiding place. Step out of silence. Step out of “almost” and into “Yes Lord.” If you know you’ve been choosing acceptance over obedience, comfort over conviction, reputation over repentance—come now. Let the praise of men go. Choose the praise of God. The door of the church is open, the invitation is real, and the time is now.

Do this for yourself. 1. Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and continue in your belief in your heart that God hath raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. 2. If you continue in your belief and get baptized will be saved.
