1 Corinthians 111CO 11
There is something deeply affecting in the plea which our Lord Jesus put before us in connection with His supper. He appeals to us to do it in remembrance of Him. It is a commemorative act, an act showing that our hearts have personal affection for Himself
"This do in remembrance of Me." I am sure our souls feel how little we know in comparison to the large revelation of truth God has given as to the Person of Jesus. The sweetest part is to do it "in remembrance of Me," and you and I, while in the wilderness, can remember our Lord Jesus and sympathize with Him in His death and sufferings! This is the place in which we stand in connection with Him. He can look on us poor sinners that we are, though saved ones, and when there are a few gathered to His name keeping that remembrance, surely it is joy to God our Father, and to the heart of the Lord Jesus. Thus He can joy in our joy at the remembrance of what He has done for us. It is bearing affection to Him.
Personal remembrance of Him is not mere doctrinal knowledge, but sweet thought and assurance. Very often we find much personal love to the Lord when there is very little clear understanding of truth. We could not do it intelligently without seeing the love of Christ.
