Remaining In Jesus. July 1,2026. He thee eateth my flesh , and drinketh my blood ,dwelleth in me , and I in him -John 6:56. “A pleasure is full grown only when if remembered .” These words , uttered by a character in C.S.Lewis ‘book Out of the Silent Planet ,depict the joy one has in reminiscing over cherished experience Lin life .Though we rightly delight in the breathtaking scenery along the part of a hike or in sharing an important milestone with a loved one ,what we feel might be merely the initial pleasure .Often ,later reflection on such moments (and those like them )compound the joy of having experienced them . Perhaps this is another reason Jesus instructs His disciples to regularly share in what we call the Lord’s Supper .As He shared the Passover with them the night before His death .He infused it with a new layer of meaning .When partaking of the unleavened bread and “fruit of the bibe ,” (Luke 22:19-20)His disciples were to share this meal regularly , doing so in remembrance of Him .(v18). The Jewish people remember how God delivered them from Egypt through celebrating Passover (see Exodus 12:17).Those who trust in Jesus’ sacrifice retell God’s deliverance from the consequences of sin by partaking of the Lord’s Supper -somber , yet joyful remembrance .By sharing in it regularly , we practice what it means to “remain “in fellowship with Jesus (John 6:56)and savor the communion with Him -Kirsten Holmberg How is remembering part of your worship of God ?What might you remember about His work in your life today ? please help me , dear Father , to remember Your good works !
