(14) For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (15) Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
(16) This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; (17) And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (18) Now where remission (forgiveness) of these is, there is no more offering for sin.”
Jesus said Luke 22:20 “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”
“The new testament, (the new covenant) in m blood…” In the new covenant, the LORD simply says “their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
You see, when you come to the LORD’s table, you come to remember. But when He comes to the table, He says “your sins and your iniquities will I remember no more.”
To us it’s a table of remembrance. To Him it’s a table of forgetting.
Psalm 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”
Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.”
Isaiah 38:17 “… but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.”
First, remember Him.
Second, remember His forgiveness is complete.
Third, remember His blood is sufficient.
Fourth, remember His second coming is definite.
I Corinthians 11:26 “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.”
Here at that first table Jesus gave His Apostles assurance that He would come again. Matthew 26:28 “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (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.”
There is a day coming when Jesus will return in the sky to take all His saints with Him to glory. And there is a day when He will return to this earth to set up a Kingdom on this planet and reign as King.
And when we partake of the LORD’s table, we remember His promise to return.
Now, as you come to His table, what will you remember?
Jesus, at that first table told His Apostles to remember Him, remember His forgiveness, remember His blood, and to remember that He will come a second time.
Now, as you come to His table, what will you remember?
Shall we pray?
And as a blessing and a further preparing of our hearts to come to the table, please listen to this wonderful communion hymn. [Behold The Lamb].
And let me close with this. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Folks, today is the day of salvation. Your sins became His sins. He took your sins on His body and paid the penalty for those sins. Why? Because love is what will win your heart.
What can you do about my sins?
• “I Repent” = I change my mind about God, Christ, my sin, and God’s free gift of salvation.
• “I Believe” = I simply trust the Lord Jesus Christ alone as the One Who paid the entire penalty for my sins. And in believing, I make Him Lord over my entire life.
Today, will you receive Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, as your Savior?
