What should His do while waiting for Him, and how. A meditation on 1 Corinthians 11-23-29.
"As often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till He come" (I Corinthians 11:23-29.
Excerpt:
How sweetly solemn and impressive was that simple yet beautiful thing which the Lord Jesus desired of His people before He, suffered; and how calculated it was to touch the hearts of all those who knew the value of His precious blood. It was at the supper of the Passover where He made the request, on the night in which He was betrayed.
He was eating with His disciples, when He took bread and gave thanks and brake it and gave it to them, saying, "Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me." "Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you." (1 Cor. 11:24; Luke 22:19, 20.)
They had been with Him for some time, He having left His throne of glory to come into the world and die for them; but now He was about to leave them for a little while, and He did not wish to be forgotten by them, but would have His dying love kept continually before their souls, because His death would be to them everlasting life, as well as the foundation of every joy and blessing they would have, either in this world or in that which is to come. He knew what poor things they were and how prone they would be to forget. Therefore His desire was that they should remember Him in this simple way while He was absent from them.
How tender and loving this was; it was just like Himself; and it shows also how very much He valued their affections. Though He was going back to His Father to enjoy the glory which He had with Him before this world was, yet this great desire that they should not forget Him seemed nearer to His heart than all beside (Luke 22:15-20). And how sweet it is to know that He is still the same, and that it gives Him joy up there to be remembered in this way by His loved ones down here. He also knew it would add to their joy too, by keeping their hearts fresh and true to Himself, separate from the world.
