Summary: The Lord’s Supper

The Double Forget-Me-Not

“This do in remembrance of me.”— 1 Corinthians 11:24

THERE are some persons who do not consider the Lord’s supper to be a divine ordinance; they say that they cannot see where it is commanded in Scripture. I have long ago given up trying to understand other people’s understandings, for some of them are constructed upon such peculiar principles that I believe the Holy Ghost himself could not put a truth in such a form but that some people would understand him to mean the very opposite of what he said.

If Christ did not mean that we were to do this, and to do it in remembrance of him, what did he mean? It seems to me to be very plain and positive that this is what he did mean; and being so, the precept comes to Christians with very great force for it is issued upon the highest possible authority.
