This Do in Remembrance of Me

Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, we gather together solemnly on this evening of Good Friday, the day on which our Lord was crucified. As we do it, we remember Him. We remember that He is the Son of God who came to Earth and lived as one of us. He went from working class to homeless during His decades on this planet. He was constantly opposed and mistreated by the religious establishment, and at the end of His life He came into collision with the political establishment too. We are here to celebrate a murdered carpenter, because as we know, His death brought life to the world. Brothers and sisters, Jesus commands us to eat His supper in His memory. We're going to eat it at the end of this sermon. But before we do, let's just examine two things: What we do in the Supper, and what we remember.
