1 Cor. 11
There is something deeply affecting in the plea which our Master put before us, in connection with this supper, in the appeal He makes to us-to do it " in remembrance of Him." It is a commemorative act; an act showing that our hearts have personal affection to Himself. " This do in remembrance of me." I am sure our souls feel the poverty of doctrine, in comparison of truth, as we get it in connection with the person of Jesus. The sweetest part is, " Do it in remembrance of me." That you and I should be in the wilderness to remember Jesus-to sympathize with Him in His death and sufferings I This is the place in which we stand in connection with Hini. That He can look on us poor saved tnes-sinners that we are, though saved ones-and say to His Father, There are a few gathered in my name remembering me And that is joy to Him, to the heart of the Lord, and a refreshment to Him. And He can thus joy in our joy at the remembrance of what He has done for us. It is bearing affection to Him, personal remembrance to Him is the sweet thought and assurance-not mere doctrinal knowledge. Very often we find much personal love to the Lord, when there is very little clear understanding of truth. We could not do it intelligently, without seeing the love of Christ.
