Never Forget

“So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.”
1 Corinthians 11:20-20 (NIV)

Last words have an impact. 

Charles Spurgeon, one of history's greatest preachers, lies dying. His friends gather close to hear his final words. He's preached thousands of sermons, written countless books, and impacted millions of lives. What will he say? Spurgeon whispers four words, "Jesus died for me." That's it. The last thing he remembers before entering eternity.

Jesus commands in 1 Corinthians 11 that you remember His death specifically. He doesn’t say remember His miracles, His teaching or even His resurrection—though all of these matter. He says, "Do this in remembrance of me," breaking bread that represents His broken body, lifting a cup that symbolizes His shed blood. 

This is the Lord's Supper, and you're His guest. The Passion of the Christ isn't just a movie—it's a feast, a celebration of what Jesus accomplished on that cross. And He asks you to remind yourself of it. Jesus Himself says, "Remember how I died as the Savior of the world."

Tomorrow morning before your feet hit the floor, say it out loud, "Jesus died for me." Write it in a journal or on a note in your phone. Read it every morning this week. Just as it was the last thing Spurgeon remembered before he died, let it be the first thing you remember as you live.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for dying in my place. In the chaos of my daily life, help me never forget what You did on that cross. When I'm distracted by a thousand things, bring me back to this one truth: You died for me. Let that be enough. In Jesus’Name, Amen.
