Understanding the True Significance of Communion - Jesus Said: Do This in Remembrance of Me
In this final sermon of the series 'Jesus Said,' we explore the profound significance of Jesus' instruction to 'do this in remembrance of me.' The sermon begins by recounting the traditional Jewish Passover meal and its deep historical and symbolic meanings. It then transitions to the Last Supper, where Jesus introduces a new covenant through the symbolism of bread and wine. The message emphasizes that communion is not just a ritual but a cornerstone of Christian faith, intended to remind believers of their identity, unity, and the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. The sermon also reflects on how early Christians met under humble circumstances to honor this sacred memory and how modern practices should aim to preserve the true meaning and importance of this sacrament.
