The Lord’s Supper is our way of expressing the central experience in Jesus, because we do not want to forget Jesus. How easy it is for us to forget Him! We need a very powerful reminder of Him. That is why we need the Lord’s Supper; it is a Meal of Remembrance.

God, really God, works so powerfully that speakers and listeners no longer feel anything that comes from men, especially from the one speaking, whom they forget completely. They are so overpowered by God that chains fall, sickness departs, new birth is given and God and His Kingdom alone prevail.

What is unique about the way Jesus has shown us is that no one but God is in authority, no one else has the right to say anything. So it is quite right to speak of God’s kingly rule. God alone has the rulership. He alone is King. That is the Kingdom of God.

The Lord’s Supper and baptism both symbolize the deepest truths. To be flooded by water, to be cleansed, to be immersed in water, points to the powerful working and streaming down of the Holy Spirit. Death, burial, and resurrection point to the powers that go forth from Jesus’ own death and resurrection into all time and Eternity. They are the powers that unite us with his death and his resurrection.
