Why did Jesus command us to remember him in this way? Because he knows that however far along the road we may be, we need to return continually in our mind’s eye to the place where our pilgrimage began: the foot of the cross. We observe this sacrament because our Lord commanded us to do so: ‘Do this in remembrance of me’ (1 Corinthians 11:24). The format of the communion service varies from church to church but the focus, of course, is always the same: the perfect sacrifice which Jesus Christ offered to his Father for the sins of his people. Over the last decade, it has been my privilege to lead many congregations of God’s people in celebrating the Lord’s Supper.
