Broken for You | Nov. 6th

  “When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

  1 Corinthians 11:24

  On the night of His betrayal, Jesus lifted up a piece of bread in His hands and blessed it. The Son thanked the Heavenly Father for this bread and then broke it, declaring to His friends, "This is my body, which is for you."

  They did not fully understand what the Lord was doing or to what degree His body would be broken for His people. How the Lord would make atonement for all those who would partake of His sacrifice. The people of God, to this day, come to the Lord’s table to hold a physical piece of bread in order to remember what Christ has done for them.

  We hold this physical emblem in order that we might learn that there is a spiritual work accomplished for us in the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ that is just as real as the bread we partake of. Beloved, remember that Christ was broken for you and that you live in Him as well.

In Christ Alone.
