The ODB author was touched by these young wedding couples remember the sacrifice of those who came before them to provide for their lives and marriages; and that kind of devotion is what our Lord asks of us when we come to His table - what we know of as “The Lord’s Supper” to honor and remember His bodily sacrifice where He shed His blood so that we, who believe in His finished work on the cross would be free from our sins and eternal saved for HIs glory.  

And I pray that when we take our next communion with fellow Christians that we truly remember our Lord’s sacrifice for us to have eternal life.            

My THANKFULNESS:... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your sacrifice on that Cross, Lord, to give me eternal life.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to remember what You did on that cross, dear Lord, for those of us who believe in You to have enteral life.   .    … AMEN
