After reading more of the Mid-Acts reasons for having the Lord's
Supper, even though they claim to follow Paul, I just figured I would do
a little sermon on remembrance. You see, those folks didn't have
a Bible to remember the death of Christ, etc.
Plus a few other reasons, the Lord's Supper today is not there for
communion, it is not there to do a ritualistic memorial, it is certainly
not there for us to 'celebrate,' it is not there as one of the invisible
'two' ordinances, etc. , it is not there for a self evaluation today nor
is it there today for remembrance.
We now have the Bible for our remembrance and all the other previous
I just listed that folks try to claim why they still do the Lord's Supper
and fear sickness and death if they ever partake unworthily.
So, with that out of the way, let's look at some
things to remember, and ALL of them come from a King James Bible!
We looked at the following verses:on what things we can remember
becasue we have a KJB!
-
I Corinthians 4:17 - Paul's ways which
be in Christ - through Timothy
-
Philippians 1:3 - Paul to the people
-
I Thessalonians 3:6 - People towards
Paul - desiring to see him, etc.
-
I Timothy 4:1-6 - these things - read
context - to be a good minister of Jesus Christ, remind folks of these...
-
II Timothy 1:3 - a specific person
- on a regular basis
-
II Timothy 1:5 - that same person,
because of his unfeigned faith that he has proven in his personal testimony
-
II Timothy 1:6 - remind folks what
you have preached to them by your KJB!
-
II Timothy 2:11-18, especially verse
14 and the context before and after it.
A rather short sermon - but important one, nonetheless!
Here is an email from one of our webfamily members
over this sermon, a sermon, by the way, that I thought was what we can
sometimes call a 'bomb.' You just never know when God's words can
be a blessing to folks, even when you think you didn't do your 'job' as
a preacher!!
"Remembrance is one of the best sermons I have heard in years."
-
2 Timothy 1:10 -
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel:
-
2 Timothy 1:11
- Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of
the Gentiles.
-
2 Timothy 1:12 -
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed:
for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep
that which I have committed unto him against that day.
-
2 Timothy 1:13 -
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith
and love which is in Christ Jesus.
-
2 Timothy 1:14 -
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which
dwelleth in us.
"How could any one read this and not understand that God did preserve
His word and we are to keep it. And rightly divide it and depend
on the Holy Spirit to bring it to our remembrance."
"So sad that people have to try and do it their way when His way
is so much easier."

The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
