The Holy Spirit helps us to recall
everything that we are taught by and about Jesus. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I
said to you. John 14:26. Jesus always gives glory to the Heavenly Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do,
so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13
Jesus never calls attention to Himself, but
always directs the attention—the focus—to His Father. His purpose is to do the
will of the Father, to speak and do just as the Father tells Him, and to
glorify the Father. I thought it interesting that in Luke passage…as well as in
1 Corinthians 12…Jesus commands His disciples to partake of the bread during
the Passover meal “in remembrance of Me.” He draws His disciples’ focus or
attention to Himself. Remember Him--not His Father. He wants them to remember—but He hadn’t “given”
His body just yet. After His crucifixion they remembered what He said. The Holy Spirit reminded them. His body
was given as a sin offering—for everyone’s sin. When we take the bread during the communion sacrament we remember what Jesus did for us…His
sacrifice for our sin.
Do you remember what Jesus has done for
you?
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit, continually bring to our minds the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
He loved us enough to die for us—in obedience to His Father. Our Heavenly
Father had a plan…Jesus’ gave His body and His blood for us. May we live holy
lives purified by the washing of His blood and by the brokenness of His body. Help
us to remember.
Happy Anniversary, Joe & Deb. May God continue to bless
and guide you—with Love and Prayers.
