Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….
matter who we are, we’ve got a father in heaven who is the perfect father.
And, I thought tonight, we could just think about one aspect of the perfectness of our father by looking at the perfect gift that he gave us as we partake of of the lord’s supper again tonight.
So, I’ve brought out the, uh, the elements here of the the bread and the wine.
Uh, I don’t know if you’ve got yours ready, but if you don’t, you could grab them, and I’ll wait here just a minute.
before we take these together. Uh, and and and again, as I think about our father who describes himself as our father in heaven, We look into the scriptures and, uh, god describes himself as our heavenly father.
There’s something about a father that’s incredibly powerful.
And those who grow up without a father feel, um, a a great a great void in their heart and in their life.
because the blessing of the father is so important.
And I know that as a dad, that’s something that my kids depend upon.
And I depend upon the blessing of my dad, And if we don’t get it from our dad, we’ll often spend the rest of our lives looking for it from some other kind of father figure.
Someone to let us know that they’re proud of us, someone to let us know that they love us.
And and and mothers are absolutely essential.
And and and we could spend a whole hour talking about moms, and we probably will on Mother’s Day, but the father in heaven so loved his world that he gave the perfect remedy for our sin problem.
And Jesus, the son, voluntarily laid down his life on the cross and spilled his blood and had his body broken to make payment for our guilt and and and send debt to the father.
as a great demonstration of their love for us.
And I don’t understand exactly how all of that works and how that was planned out from eternity past, but I’m so grateful.
And I know how to tell god how thankful I am.
And so if you have your elements, let’s let’s partake of them together.
Jesus, uh, on the night that he was betrayed, he sat down in that upper room with his friends.
And and and he took the bread, and he broke it, and he gave thanks.
And he said, this is my body that will be broken for you.
And he took the cup, and he gave thanks.
And he said, this is my blood, the blood of the new covenant, And that blood would represent an everlasting covenant.
Notice that word again. We’ve been talking about the covenant, that sacred promise and agreement that god makes with those of us who come to him by faith.
that he’ll never leave us.
He’ll never forsake us that he has put an end to the sin problem.
Doesn’t put an end to all of our sin, in its existence, but he puts an end to the power of sin that dominates you and me.
And now we have someone in us, the Holy Spirit, who’s greater than our sin.
And now we have the ability to conquer selfishness and pride and jealousy and and rudeness and all those things that separate us from god and from one another.
And so if you are a member of the family of faith and you know Jesus son, you have god the father as well as your provider as your protector.
And you have Jesus as your redeemer as your savior and as your brother.
And so let’s, uh, eat the bread together in remembrance of this body broken for us.
And let’s drink the fruit of the vine, the grape juice, You may have the new stuff or the old stuff in remembrance of his blood.
shed for us.
