Thursday of Holy Week

Proclaim the Lord’s Death

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
²³For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, ²⁴and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." ²⁵In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." ²⁶For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

There was a time when what you believed about the Lord’s Supper was a matter of life and death.

From 1555 to 1558, two hundred and eighty-eight English Protestant Reformers were burned at the stake by the Roman Catholic Queen Mary. They were burned alive over what they believed was the meaning of the Lord’s Supper. Was the Lord’s body literally and physically present in the Bread and Wine? Martyrs like Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer, and Thomas Cranmer all thought this was a matter worth dying for.

Today, some take a more lackadaisical attitude towards the Lord’s Supper. Some aren’t even sure what it stands for. 1 Corinthians 11 reminds us that the Holy Communion itself proclaims the Gospel – the eternal life-giving and sin-cleansing Life and Resurrection of Jesus.

Whenever we take Holy Communion, we eat at Jesus’ table. He is there with us in fellowship. We remember what Jesus had to go through in order that we might have the privilege of sharing bread and wine with Him today. The memories of Jesus should fill us at His table, and lead us to feed spiritually on Him, drawing from Him all that we need to sustain us.

Today is called Maundy Thursday, from the Latin Mandatum, or ‘command’ (“a new command I give you … - John 13:32).

Let us this day remember our Lord’s command to love each other as He loves us. Let us also determine to remember what Holy Communion means, and how we can proclaim the Gospel, the good news of what God offers.

After all, for Jesus it was a matter worth dying for.
Commitment:
Think of Jesus’ sacrifice, and surrender your timidity in proclaiming His Gospel. Give up all the anger, bitterness and grudges you may barbbour against others, and choose to live and love as Jesus did!

Prayer:
Jesus, I thank you again for all that you had to suffer through so that I might live. Help me to remember this whenever I take Holy Communion, and give me strength to love as your love. Amen.
