Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.
00:00:06.413 --> 00:00:07.782
I'm Rick.
00:00:07.782 --> 00:00:12.673
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.
00:00:12.673 --> 00:00:18.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.
00:00:18.484 --> 00:00:20.089
Let's get started.
00:00:20.089 --> 00:00:36.369
Today is Day 16, a new memory Reading from 1 Corinthians 11, 25, from the New Living Translation this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:40.609
Do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of me.
00:00:42.761 --> 00:00:48.493
The celebration of the Lord's Supper is one of the most meaningful acts that Christians participate in together.
00:00:48.493 --> 00:00:58.213
Whether it's observed weekly or every few months, this meal reminds followers of Christ that their only hope for forgiveness and grace is found in Him.
00:00:58.213 --> 00:01:02.990
We do this in remembrance of everything that Jesus has done for us.
00:01:02.990 --> 00:01:11.611
Reflecting on the past is not new, but in the Lord's Supper, jesus gives us something far more than just a way to remember.
00:01:11.611 --> 00:01:27.834
Each time we proclaim Jesus' death during this celebration, we not only look back, but we also look forward and upward, declaring the ongoing power of his sacrifice for us today and for eternity.
00:01:27.834 --> 00:01:31.308
Jesus offers a new kind of memory.
00:01:31.308 --> 00:01:42.713
Our salvation began in the past, at the cross, but Christ continues to sustain us through his crucified body and his shed blood.
00:01:42.713 --> 00:01:53.941
Just as a regular meal gives us the strength to live physically, the regular remembrance of Jesus' death and resurrection nourishes the spiritual lives of believers.
00:01:53.941 --> 00:02:06.411
This is the new covenant Jeremiah 31, 31-34, god's promise to strengthen us with his presence so that we can faithfully serve Him.
00:02:06.411 --> 00:02:13.090
Will this memory of Christ's sacrifice sustain you in worship and service as you enter this new year.
00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:16.762
Pray with me, lord.
00:02:16.762 --> 00:02:24.612
Father, god, I remember, I believe that you died for me and you gave up your perfect life so that I could live.
00:02:24.612 --> 00:02:28.888
May your death renew me for life with you today.
00:02:28.888 --> 00:02:30.252
Amen.
00:02:30.252 --> 00:02:37.293
