Lords Supper Essay 2
Mankind cannot be saved by any workings of their flesh or by what is worldly and or by any other attempts and efforts to reach out to God. Neither are we saved by any religious organization nor by any other man-made belief. It is exclusively on a persons faith and of merits and by trusting in the gospel that we are saved.
The message of the cross is essential core of all gospel teachings. Apostle Paul believed when he delivered and put much emphasis on the message of the cross of Christ. The directive of the message was foundational and very important. Some Corinthians were denying Jesus rise from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15:19 in so many words "Christ", who does not give us hope for the world to come, is a "Christ" who makes us miserable. We look for more than such a "Christ" is able to give to us. Paul had expressed that he had no desire to know anything surrounding the Corinthians with exception of Jesus Christ and Him being crucified. I resolved to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him Crucified(1 Corinthians 2:2, Womens Devotional Bible). He made a distinction Lords Supper Essay 3 between the natural and the physical. Christ resurrection is foundational. The resurrection of Christ is the height in ones achieving salvation. It is the central thesis in the biblical revelation of the New Testament so; whoever rejects or denies the doctrine will not have eternal life. To oppose it, or deny it gives empty faith of all its meanings and value. The resurrection teaches everyone about death and shows how and why mankinds salvation balances upon the edge of truth of Christs resurrection. The truth he was relaying was unless mankind fails to know Jesus Crucified, they would not truly understand or know Him in the power of the resurrection. In times before Christ mankind sinned against God, it wasnt enough to merely say to God Im sorry, for the law, therefore it required a sacrifice to make atonement for the sin. This is why the message of the cross is at the heart of all- embraced gospel teachings, preachings and sermons. One part of the message has to do with the sacrifice of an innocent Lamb. The lamb is innocent, Jesus was the Lamb of God and He was slain for mankinds sins. The results of our sins caused Jesus death. But, through his death was the provision to the sins and thus they were taken away saving mankind. The cross signifies that we by faith can call upon Lords Supper Essay 4 Him in His name Jesus, It destroys sin and brings unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit, The cross is to reach those that are lost, forgive those that sin and a reminder that man was born into sin and needed a Savior to atone for the sins. Because of mankinds sinning, constant rebellion and sinful nature all of mankinds burdens was place on Jesus, so all that is good under Him and by His very own perfect nature and life, could be ours. The Gospel provides what mankind can be blessed with, what is deserving to Jesus, because He gave the gift of life to mankind through the cross by the giving of His own blood (His life). So that man man can be freed from rebelliousness, and the consequences of rebellion, because Jesus took it for him. Pauls meaning of the power of the Cross defines that the Cross and meaning to our lives pertains to embracing the modification of life that God has for us in terms of mans nature and essence. We are to become like Christ, it is not by concentrating to put the unruly nature through a course of education, but instead by nourishing the brand-new life while reckoning that old nature dead. Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:11, Womens Devotional Bible). And when this is done it gives the old nature to die sin Lords Supper Essay 5 will be deprived. Man will seek God, more consciously will be in pursuit of the Spirit of God, in order to become one with God. Eventually the time will come when the peace of God will ascend and rule in our lives, and mankind will be ready for all of His good works. We need to be reminded that the cross is the way to atonement it is still the key to truly knowing God. It will not come to man any other way And God will continually bless and appreciates those who come to know Him in this way. To Pauls understanding the Lords supper commemorates the death of our Savior Jesus Christ. To give example the Passover was in general a remembrance celebration that was a calling to mind. 1 Corinthians 11, Paul used the word remembrance, stating when people of God participate in the Lords supper not only do they have the belief in their minds of the past event but they possess a broader sense and understanding of the event and what its power represented. Jesus himself originated the ideology. The tradition of the Lords supper helps to understand His presence. It also was an understanding by Paul that the Lords Supper is a proclamation and symbolic For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes (1 Corinthians 11:26 Womens Devotional Bible). Therefore, the Lords Supper is constructed to Lords Supper Essay 6 be forever reminder to Christians to be thankful of God and His greatest accomplishment, which was, the deliverance from sin thru the persecution and death of His Son Jesus Christ. Therefore as we give thanks to God for His indefinite blessings, we are to remember to thank Him most of all for His sending His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to save mankind from certain death. The last supper, Jesus gives remembrance of Himself through His blood and His body ransomed to pay for mankinds sin. The resurrection of our Lord and Savior is the basis for mankinds hope of everlasting life. Without Christ's resurrection or rise from the dead, there would not be eternal life for us. Christ's resurrection, brought hope to mankind, the joyful hope of eternal salvation. The greatness that Christ brings into our lives is a magnificence, which transforms our lives today, a glory, which matures in us as we travel with the Lord, and an immorality, which will be seen in all its fullness at our triumphant resurrection.
