Luke 22:17-20, “After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’ And He took bread and gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way after the supper, He took the cup saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.'”
A few weeks back, I read about a very heartbreaking incident on the news about human sacrifice. A couple wanted to get rich, and they were advised by a god man that a human sacrifice will make them very rich. Two women became victims of this barbaric act. How horrible is that? If we notice all around us, everyone is seeking atonement for something. Everyone is dealing with the evil in them in different ways. We are required to pay for the injustices that we may have caused, knowingly or unknowingly.
The place I’m standing in is like a village. I see how the villagers, here are so committed to their religious duties because they’re seeking atonement for their sins, worries, sicknesses, and all sorts of challenges in life. Some seek atonement even for their afterlife. Where can I find atonement for my sins? We all need to deal with the evil in us, the sins that separate us from God. But this passage that I just read is an answer to all the questions in the world. And here, Jesus is reinforcing that He has been poured out for us all for our iniquities and the iniquities of the world.
We are invited to remember it, receive it, and live under the new covenant. Jesus not only died for us, but rose again victoriously. That is why it is a new covenant. When we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we come under the new covenant of forgiveness and grace. That is why communion is so powerful.
We are believing and receiving the most powerful and sovereign symbol of life. He can wash away our sins. He’s the perfect sacrifice for us. He has broken the power of death and evil. His power can transform our lives. If you are feeling low or dealing with unbelief and fear, I urge you to partake in communion. Just do it with your family or friends right where you are. Doing this in remembrance of Him will ignite new faith and assurance in your heart.
Friend, there’s a heart, there’s a life, there’s a person, there’s a real person that needs to hear the good news of Jesus Christ at this very moment. Today, I appeal to you to join with us and become a media missionary. Sow financially into GOD TV and let’s take this good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth. Through your giving, through your prayer, through your support, this world is going to be changed, and the good news of Jesus Christ is going be heard around the world. God bless you.
