June 1, 2008 – Sunday
Today we had a wonderful time of worship. Between the Lord’s Supper service, music, and preaching the time was from 10 AM to 1 PM. As usual it was beautiful and sincere. During the Lord’s supper service I had the privilege to share the Scriptures. We talked about the past, present, and future in relation to remembering the Lord’s death and resurrection.
The past – Jesus filled the Old Testament prophecies concerning His death and resurrection – see Isaiah 53. And we look back to what Jesus did on the cross as the substitute for our sin. Our Savior the Righteous One who gave His life for sinful people like me and you.
The present – As the Apostle Paul instructs us, we examine our hearts and confess any sin – because sin hinders fellowship with God (I Corinthians 11:17-34).
The future – Our Savior is Risen, and He will return for us, and we will share the Cup with him in the New Kingdom (Matthew 26:26-30). The certain hope of all true believers is this: Our future is with our King!
Pepe, Judy, and I went to lunch, and we had a good time and a profitable conversation about church life.
