For most couples that get married,
rings are exchanged during the wedding ceremony. The rings are a reminder that
you are now in a lifetime covenant relationship with a partner whom each has
chosen.
When an individual gives their life to Christ and is resurrected into the spiritual life through baptism, he/she enters into a lifetime covenant relationship with Christ.
For the baptized believer, the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 26:17-30) is taken as a reminder of Christ’s unwavering commitment, unquenchable love, limitless grace, enduring sacrifice, and forgiveness.
Christ’s endurance through a horrific beating at the hands of a hateful and cruel people is a demonstration that He did not give in, or up when suffering was harsh, extreme, and painful. (Matthew 27:27-44)
Romans 5:8 says, “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”
The bread and the wine is a reminder of the lifetime covenant relationship believers have with God because of Christ. Any believer who keeps Christ as the centerpiece of their daily life will endure all the extreme and painful sufferings they face.
For those who chose to remember Christ sacrifice through the taking of the Lord’s Supper will be strengthen and renewed. As the wedding band is a reminder of a covenant relationship with a spouse, the Lord’s Supper in a reminder of the covenant relationship we have with God because of Jesus.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 says, “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
Remember, Be God Controlled!
