Daily Walk Through the New Testament

June 12

Read Mark 14:1-26

Most people need reminders. Many doctor’s appointments, lunch meetings, and project deadlines would be missed without them! Jesus gave us something to help us remember Him. Some call it the Lord’s Supper; some call it communion. Whatever it’s called, it’s a time for us to stop whatever we’re doing and remember what Jesus did for us.
Jesus established this ordinance for us because He knows our tendency to let the pace and pressures of life distract us from our relationship with God. He knows our affinity for things that don’t matter, so He established a reminder of what matters most.
Through communion, Jesus calls out to us: “Remember My love. Don’t forget what I accomplished or the price I paid. Remember who I am. Don’t forget what I did, what I am doing, and what I promised to do for you.” Respond to Him with grateful worship and loving reverence.
