While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.” — Mark 14:22 BSB

The last day of Jesus’ earthly life was filled with sacred moments.

That evening was the Last Supper. Jesus longed to be remembered. Like any human, He didn’t want to be forgotten, especially by those He loved.

He gave the Holy Supper as a memorial to be kept always in His memory.

If we constantly remember Christ, it will keep us faithful to Him. He wants us to remain true and loyal not only during our times of worship, but also in the midst of everyday challenges and temptations. Remembering Christ will also transform us, making us more like Him.

Our thoughts shape us—they are the builders of our character. If our thoughts are pure and clean, they will build a life of beauty and strength. But if our thoughts are stained, they will stain our lives as well.

If we always keep Christ in our minds, we will grow into His likeness. That’s what the Lord’s Supper is meant to help us do.
