 | On the evening of his betrayal almost 2000 years ago, a young, itinerant rabbi met in an upper room with his twelve closest disciples to observe the annual Passover celebration. For that inner circle of disciples it would be an evening rich in fellowship and teaching that they would remember for the rest of their lives. It was during the observation of this particular Passover feast that Jesus dedicated a simple meal to himself, one that was to be commemorated by his disciples after his death. This observance of the Lord's Supper, as it has come to be called, is carried on to this day by his followers. But what is the significance of this commemoration by Christians today? We will never find a satisfying answer to this important question without first asking another one: what was the meaning of the Lord's Supper for Jesus and his disciples and in the life of the early church? In this scholarly work, Andrew Fleming examines ? the origins of the Lord's Supper ?the background of the Jewish Passover?the practice of the Lord's Supper in the first century church. Reading In Remembrance of Me will cause you to appreciate this memorial celebration that is at the center of Christian worship. What is more, your personal experience of the Lord's Supper will be taken to new heights. |
