Do This In Remembrance of Me

Well, good morning again, and very wonderful to be able to see you this morning.

The focus of what we've talked about for several weeks has been the upcoming Passover and, of course, the Days of Unleavened Bread. And all of us realize that this is a significant time of self-reflection and, in a sense, recommitment, redevotion, to the responsibilities that we have being a disciple of Jesus Christ. Now, what I want to reflect on today, or what I'd like to emphasize, are the words that Jesus stated. He said this in Luke, and we see it recorded by Paul in 1 Corinthians.

What did he say? Well, he said, do this in remembrance of me. Now, you might say, well, that's kind of a trite statement. Now, that's a very significant statement, because we want to observe the Passover with a focus, not solely on ourselves, because often we are thinking about ourselves. We're thinking about our need to repent. We're thinking about our need to relate to God, but Jesus says, do this, talking about the bread and the wine that we will observe here at the Passover. He says, do this in remembrance of me. Our focus needs to be on Jesus Christ, on His atoning sacrifice, on His love for us, on the fact that He is the only way that we can have eternal life, the only way we can be a part of the kingdom of God, the only way we have a hope beyond the grave. Here in Luke 22, when Jesus, in this account of Jesus instituting the Passover service, the New Testament Passover, not the Old Testament Passover, that was quite different, or at least different in symbols and different in activity. But here in Luke 22, it says in verse 14, when the hour came, He took His place at the table and the apostles were with Him, and He says, I've eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

You know, why did He so much want to do that with His disciples? Because He knew more about what the plan of God was, how it was unfolding than certainly the disciples did.

He knew of things in the past. He knew about His dealing with Israel. He knew this ultimate sacrifice would be given for man, and He knew that they would need to know what to do and how to proceed to achieve the outcome of the sons and daughters of God being given eternal life. He knew that. He says, I have greatly desired, I've eagerly desired, to eat this with you.

And He says, for I tell you, I'll not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And so He took the cup, He gave thanks, and He divided that. And in verse 19, He took the loaf of bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them and said, this is my body that is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me. Luke 22, verse 19. That's what He told the disciples. He says, I want you to do this. And we find in 1 Corinthians 11, as we referred to in the Sermonet, you find Paul reiterating this same thing, saying that the Lord taught me. See, Paul had been, you know, the enemy of the church. He had been rampant in his disobedience, and yet God was able to work with him. He was able to bring him to repentance, and then in essence open his eyes, because obviously he was blind for a few days. God got his attention quite well. And of course, he realized that, well, I'm in need of a lot of help, and ultimately he would be taught by Jesus Christ directly for several years, it appears. And yet it says here in 1 Corinthians 11, verse 23, I received from the Lord what I also hand on to you, that the Lord denied he was betrayed, and he went through this same scenario when he had given thanks. In verse 24, he said, this is my body that is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me. And in verse 25, in the same way he took the cup and he said, this cup is the new covenant in my blood.

Do this as oft as you drink it in remembrance of me. For as oft as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim what? You proclaim the Lord's death until I come. And so, you know, his reference and his focus on the Passover as he passed it on to his disciples and as Paul gave it to a New Testament congregation of the Chagod, he says, you've got to be focused on me. And on, is it on the fact that he's going to be in the grave three days and three nights? No. Is it on his resurrection?

As, of course, his proclaimed today in this world, the focus is on the fact that he has risen. Now, clearly, you know, that is significant and important, but that's not what he says in this verse.

He says, you proclaim the Lord's death. See, the focus is on the fact that he is our Redeemer. He is the one who is providing salvation in this sacrifice that he is offering. So our focus should be not simply on ourselves, although obviously we have to prepare in that way, but we want as we come together and as we take the Passover, we want to be focused on his love and his sacrifice for each of us personally, because it does come down to a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. That's what every one of us have to have.

Now, as I said, the focus of this sermon and Mr. Jackson will write down the title, Do This in Remembrance of Me. I mean, that's a pretty simple statement, but it is a reminder. See, I want us to look at John 6, because we've read other sections of John here in the last few weeks, sections that are very important and that we will cover some in the Passover service.

But here in John 6, you see Jesus, after having fed the thousands with the bread and fish that were available, the few that were available as he performed a miracle, as he walked on water, he continues in the latter part of chapter 6 to talk about how he is the bread of life.

He says, now fish and bread are good for you to sustain your life. Food, physical food, is necessary and seems like most of us like to eat in the morning and at noon and at night. We tend to get hungry after several hours, and he says, that's fine, but says there's something far more important than that, and I want to explain what that is.

In verse 26, Jesus says, fairly I tell you, John 6, 26, you are looking for me not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the fill of the loaves. He was telling those who had, some of whom had eaten the miraculous bread and fish that he had provided. He says in verse 7, 27, don't work for the food that perishes, but work for food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for it is on him that God the Father has set his seal. See, the Father and the Son have agreed that this sacrifice would be given, the sacrifice of the life of Jesus.

But see, he describes in verse 28 they said to him, well, you know, what do we have to do to perform the works of God? And he said, well, this is the work of God that you believe in Him whom He has sent. See, now, He made it kind of plain. You need to believe in Me. Now, many of these people that He spoke to, some of them were Israelites, perhaps most of them were, but they were not totally accepting.

Certainly the religious leaders were, and even we're going to find many who followed Him, many who He said were disciples, are going to later just walk away. And certainly, you know, we want to be aware of what He points out here in chapter 6, verse 33. He talks about how that their ancestors were fed physical bread in the wilderness.

But in verse 33, He says, the bread of life is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. Verse 32, He said, I am the true bread from heaven. See, if I want to have eternal life, well, then I need to be focused on understanding the words of Jesus Christ. I need to be focused on not only understanding those, but then living by them.

I need to desire the transformation that comes from that. In verse 35, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. He said this to you, that you have seen me and yet you don't believe.

See, He pointed out how important it was that we do what we do in remembrance of Him. That's a directive about the Passover directly, but, you know, He tells us to have belief in Jesus Christ. He goes ahead to explain this, and I'm not going to go through all of these verses, but I would encourage us to read John chapter 6 before next weekend, because it is extremely important.

Let's drop down to verse 51, where He says not only that I am the bread of life and that I am the true bread of life. He says in verse 51, I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever. Do we want to have eternal life? Do we want to live with God beyond our physical existence? Well, this is the way to do it. He says, I'm the way. I am the living bread that came down from heaven.

Whoever eats of this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. And so He says, my sacrifice as the Lamb of God is a key. And so as we do what we do in remembrance of Him, see, He should be our motivation. He's got to be the motivation. Of course, He goes on here.

In verse 53, Jesus said to them, barely I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, then you have no life in you. And so not only, you know, is that a directive from Jesus as far as what we should do, but it tells us, well, in order to have life, well, then that's what we want to do. We want to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. Verse 54, those who eat of my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day.

For my flesh is true food, my blood is true drink. And in verse 56, those who do this, those who eat my flesh and drink my blood, abide in me and I abide in them. So do we want that type of communion with God? Do we want that type of closeness? Do we want our prayers enhanced and heard? Do we want our Bible study to be exciting and uplifted? Well, we want to focus on the one who can make it that way. And he tells us, of course, that we want to focus on him as the true bread and as the living bread.

Now, in verse 60, it says, many of the disciples heard what he was saying, and they said, this teaching is difficult. Who can accept it? See, he, and maybe when I read this, maybe you thought, boy, that's difficult, or that's kind of hard to figure out. Well, it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be with help of God. We can understand that. With the help of God's Spirit, then we benefit from that. But here he's dealing with newer disciples. And it says, in verse 61, Jesus being aware that his disciples were complaining about it. He said to them, does this offend you? Is this saying and statement that I just made, is that difficult or does that trouble you? He went ahead to say, in verse 62, what if you see the Son of Man ascending into the heavens where he was before? Is that going to trouble you if I'm here and then I'm all of a sudden gone? Which, of course, later on he would be. That would happen. But he says, in verse 63, it is the Spirit. The things that I'm telling you deal with not just physical existence, not just what am I going to eat? What did I eat this morning? What am I going to eat in the car on the way back to Kansas City? It's way beyond that. He says, the words, or it is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh is useless, or the flesh profits nothing. But he says, the words that I have spoken to you, they are spirit and they are life. So what he had to offer was certainly what we want. We want eternal life and then this is the only way that we can have that. And he goes ahead to say, in verse 65, he repeats what he had said earlier in verse 44, he said to them, for this reason I've told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted or they are drawn by the Father. And so again, how much is the Father involved in bringing you to the awareness that you have today of the Bible, of the Church of God, of the head of the Church, Jesus Christ?

Who's responsible for that? Well, each of us have had to respond, but see, God has had to extend that invitation. And he goes on in verse 66 because of what he was saying, because of the fact that what he said was troubling or offensive to many of the people there. Verse 66, because of this, many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. See, that's kind of a sad verse. John 6 66, because of this, many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. See, we don't want to fall into that category. We don't want to become a disbeliever. We want to be engaged, and we have to be engaged. And Jesus even turned to the 12, and he says, do you also wish to go away? See, now he had directly been involved in inviting them and calling them or drawing them or telling them, I want you to follow me. And so he asks them, well, does this make you want to go away? And Simon Peter has an excellent answer here.

He says, Lord, where would we go? There is no place else to get eternal life. There's no place else to fulfill God's purpose for our lives. And so, amazingly, I think as we read this, you know, where should we go? Peter goes ahead to say, Lord, where would we go?

You have the words of eternal life. We've come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God. You're the Holy One of Israel. You are the One who has all the answers. And so where should we go?

Peter was very correctly stating, where should we go? We should go toward you. We should go toward the One who He said, do what you do in remembrance of me. That's the focus. That's the focus of the New Testament Passover. Now, there are three things that I want to mention, and these are not things that you surely have not heard. But we have to think about, well, I clearly see what Jesus is talking about here in John chapter 6 and what He tells me to do. And yet, perhaps these three things can be helpful as we look forward to next Thursday night. First of all, Tom explained the explanation of what it was that was offered through Jesus Christ, His broken body, His shed blood, although He's focusing on the body and on the healing that God offers that He makes available. But I summarize that by simply saying that the debt that we owe to God has been paid in full. That's what Paul says here in Acts chapter 20. I want us to look at that. We've been, as it says here, purchased with that blood. Acts chapter 20, verse 27, Paul was talking to the elders from the church in Ephesus as he was leaving them in a meeting that he had met them out on the coast in Miletus. And he said, I didn't shrink back from declaring to you the entire purpose of God, but I want you to keep watch over yourselves and over the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to shepherd the church of God that He obtained, that He purchased with the blood of His own Son. See, are we just a good person? Are we just a Christian?

Or have we been invited by the Father to Jesus Christ and then bought and paid for by Him?

See, that's when I say paid in full, that's what the sacrifice was. It was a complete sacrifice. It was dealing with help here in this physical existence, and it's dealing with eternal life beyond the grave. And so, you know, our indebtedness to God, because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and so each of us fall into that category, but we've been paid in full. You know, Christ has paid for us.

If we jump on over to 1 Corinthians chapter 6, 1 Corinthians chapter 6 tells us, again, Paul is talking to the church at Corinth. He says in verse 18, flee sin, flee fornication. And in verse 19, he says, don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God and that you are not your own?

Now here he's talking about again, you know, you've been paid for. You've been bought and paid for. You are no longer your own, and I am not my own. I need to do the work that God has commissioned me to do in serving Jesus Christ and says in verse 20, you were bought with a price.

Therefore glorify God in your body. That's what God expects of us. And see, I think if we're going to do this in remembrance of Jesus, and we're going to be reminded that, you know, we have been bought and paid for, fully redeemed from the penalty of death. Even though we may suffer some of the consequences of our own sins at times, and we ask that God often removes those even, but he says, I've paid for you and I love you and I am concerned about you and I want you to follow the path to eternal life. The second thing I want to mention is that as we go through the process each year of preparing for the Passover and examining ourselves, why does God want us to do that? Well, he wants us to do that in order to properly prepare for the Passover, but it's to create a receptivity from God through his Word, through us. Here in church, we're going to preach out of the Bible. We're going to preach the Word of God. That's what we're going to cover. That's what we're going to learn about. And here in 2 Corinthians chapter 7, we see a response, a desired response that's expected of all of us. And so this may have to be something that we think about, and I would encourage you to think about it because, you know, I find as I go over things each year, sometimes I'm already familiar with something, and yet my heart is not really as involved in it as it ought to be. I find that my heart is a little more in the description you find about the type of change of heart that God expects us to have is from a stony heart, a heart that is hard to respond to a fleshly heart or a soft heart, not turning to the ways of the flesh, but from having a familiarity with the truth, from having a awareness of what to expect.

You can almost have kind of a hardness that God doesn't want. He doesn't want that hardness. He wants us to have a soft and malleable heart. He wants us to have a heart that would relate to him. And here in 2 Corinthians 7 primarily, but in chapter 6, Paul also is pleading. He is pleading with the church in Corinth. Now this is a church that he in the first book of Corinthians, he has laid out a number of things that they need to improve. They need to change a number of things.

And he even told them that, you know, you need to put someone away from you. You need to put them away because they're openly sinning. And so that's much of what you find in the first book of Corinthians, although there are a number of other topics that he addresses clearly. But in the second letter here of Corinthians, he is coming to them and in a sense, he's trying to get them to accept his guidance. Guidance from God. He says in chapter 6, verse 11, we have spoken frankly to you Corinthians, and our heart is wide open to you, saying Paul, Timothy, Sosthenes, others, Titus, perhaps, who were with him. Aquila and Priscilla were very familiar with the area and with the people. And yet Paul was speaking, we have spoken frankly to you Corinthians, our heart is wide open to you. There's no restraint, but only in yours. In return, I speak as to children, open wide your hearts to me. Open wide your hearts. Our hearts are open toward you. See, what was he asking for? He was wanting not just to be accepted, but to be received in a warm, loving embrace.

Down in chapter 7, verse 1, he says, since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God. And he says in verse 2, make room in your hearts for us.

See, what was it? Paul just liked to tell them what to do, or was he wanting them to realize, I'm trying to help you, I'm trying to cause you to grow to a relationship with the Father and with his Son that ultimately ends in glory. He says, make room in your hearts for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one, and I don't say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts. To die together and to live together, I often even boast about you. I have you. Now, even though he, in a sense, seemed to be somewhat strong in his correction of the Corinthians, I think you can see from what Paul is saying here, he says, I love you. I look to you, and I'm not going to go through much of where he describes that. He says, I am so close to you, and I want you to return that closeness. I want you to return that love, not only to me, but to God. I want you to respond to God, not out of a hardened heart, but out of a true love that God has placed in your heart through being repentant.

See, and here he's going to describe. He's going to describe how it was that when they came to Macedonia, they were afflicted in every way, and yet they were consoled when Titus came to them and told them what was happening, told them what was going on in Corinth and how the people were responding and how their heart was opening. And see, here he starts to describe this. He says in verse 8, verse 8, even if I made you sorry with my letter, he was talking about his first letter, even if what I had to say was a little bit stern, even if I made you sorry with my letter, I don't regret it, though I did regret it, for I see that I grieved you with that letter, though only for a short time, just briefly. He says, I realize that receiving that correction is for your good. That's why I intended it that way. That's why I said what I did. And then he goes on in verse 9, but he says now I'm excited. I am thrilled. I am joyful not because that you were made sorry or you were grieved, but because your sorrow led to repentance. It led to a change of heart. And see, brethren, that's what I'm asking.

You know, we want to realize, as we remember Jesus Christ at the Passover, that it is through his sacrifice that our debts to God are paid in full. And he expects us to seek this type of a repentant, softened heart. Here he says, I rejoice not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance, for you felt a godly sorrow, so that you were not harmed in any way by us. For, he says in verse 10, what godly sorrow produces, for godly sorrow produces, a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly sorrow, sorrow that is really just because I got caught. We see this all the time in the news. People often decide to confess because, you know, it was pointed out by everybody, you know, you were actually wrong. You know, that's not godly sorrow. That's not what this is written, talking about. Here he's talking about a change of heart, a change of heart from being hard-hearted, from being almost unworkable to being truly close to God. And the results of that type of a heartfelt repentance is described here. He says, godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation. Verse 11, but what I see, see the earnestness, the earnestness that is this godly sorrow has produced in you. See what eagerness to clear yourself, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment, at every point you approve yourself guiltless in this matter.

See here Paul is making a description of not someone who is seared by their sins, but someone who is truly softened. Someone who is truly, and he was talking in general of the congregation, but certainly many of the people had taken that to heart to where they produced an excitement. Now you see a little later that he continues to write about some other things that they'd also need to change. But see that's what I want to point out, brethren, that the results of heartfelt repentance, which is what we ask God for when we examine ourselves and ask that he would forgive us and that we would have a softened heart that can approach God in pureness.

See here he talks, and Jesus talks in the beatitudes about blessed are the pure in heart, you know, for they shall see God. If our hearts are softened, if they are repentant, if they are eager to be cleared, as he describes here, you know, then the results of heartfelt repentance is true connection, true connection with God. The final thing that I'll mention in connection with do this in remembrance of me is the fact that, you know, we can see very clearly, we go through often the account of the betrayal and crucifixion of Jesus, the fact that he was in the grave three days, three nights, as he said, and then, of course, clearly resurrected easily, in a sense, through the top of the rock. He didn't have to have the tomb opened, he just went through the top of it. But here in Luke 22, I want to conclude with how it was that Jesus was able to endure such contradiction of what he, he didn't deserve any of that. He was completely innocent. He was innocent of all the charges that were brought against him, and he was innocent of, you know, he was going through this for us. He was going through it because we're the ones who are guilty, and we are the ones who desire to be reconciled to God. And we talked about being reconciled to one another. We're reconciled to God through the sacrifice of his Son. And yet, what Jesus went through, even prior to being betrayed, is significant. And we should read this here in Luke 22. And of course, I know there are many sermons, perhaps, or at least several that I've seen, that go through this section of Jesus praying, praying to his Father, and even wanting his closest friends to pray with him. But they were tired. They were sleepy. They were not aware of the immense magnitude of what it was that God was providing for his family through the sacrifice of Christ. But here in verse 39, this is a section, of course, where Jesus is praying in the garden of Gethsemane. He's praying there. Verse 39, he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And the disciples were following him, and when he reached the place, he said to them, pray that you may not come into the time of trial or temptation. He knew what to expect, and he knew, actually having written about it long before, he knew what was predicted. He knew what was coming. He knew the extent of the damage that would be done to his physical body, and ultimately he would be put to death. And yet physically, that was going to hurt. That was going to hurt incredibly.

And if we think, and it's too easy for us to think, oh well, that was God. He was the Son of God. And of course he could go through, well, yes. But does he understand the pressure?

Does he understand the pressure that all of us have in our own Christian lives? See, we have pressure in this world. We have pressure from our own nature. We have pressure from others who interact with us. We have pressure in a lot of different ways. And sometimes we feel that, well, you know, God has given me too much. But that's certainly not the case when you see what it was that Jesus endured. What it was that he went through knowing that the Father could help him, knowing that the Father would help him, but he would still go through this.

He said in verse 41, when he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, he knelt down and prayed.

And you can read other of the Gospel accounts that describe this in a little more detail.

But obviously, he ultimately was going to do this three times. And yet Luke records something that I want to mention here. He says, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me, yet not my will but yours be done.

Now, that's a statement you could make an entire sermon or series of sermons out of as far as yielding to the will of the Father. See, that's something that we have to do as well. We have to yield to God's will in our lives. We have been bought with a price. We have been brought, hopefully, to a softened heart of repentance. And then we want to be thankful for the incredible gift that has been extended to us in the death of our Savior Jesus Christ.

He said, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me, yet not my will but yours be done.

And in verse 43, what does it say? Well, it says God sent some help.

An angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. You know, he was willing to yield to the will of the Father. He was willing to appreciate what it was that he was being guided through. And again, we want to understand the pressure that he was under. He had been criticized by the religious leaders. He had been disbelieved, as we read earlier, by many of the people and even some of the disciples. He had been doubted. He had been criticized. He would later be mocked. He would be brutalized. He knew all of this, and he was asking for help. And it says, Help was sent an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. And yet it says in verse 44, in his anguish, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. You know, again, we can read that, and often we might read that, and certainly there's been a lot of debate, well, what did that mean? And maybe that doesn't mean what it actually says. And yet, I think we'd have to say that Jesus was under far more pressure because the weight of the benefit to the whole world, to the entirety of the human race from Adam and Eve to his time and then even today was on his shoulders. And so when he prayed, it says in verse 45, he got up from prayer and came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief. And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray. You've got to be close to God. But of course, what I'm wanting to point out is the type of pressure that was on Jesus. Whenever if you sweat blood, and that is a medical term, you can easily look that up. I've got a sheet here that describes this. The medical term is hematodrosis. And yet, I want to read just a little bit about what Wikipedia describes it rather simply. It says hematodrosis is a condition in which capillary blood vessels that feed the sweat glands rupture, causing them to exude blood occasionally or occurring under conditions of extreme physical or emotional stress.

Now, I have to say, as this is written in our medical literature, it's a very, very rare condition. Not something you'd commonly see, but see, what was Jesus going through? You know, one of the most incredibly pressurized situations ever. And yet, he was going through that. This description says, severe mental anxiety activates the sympathetic nervous system to invoke the stress fight-or-flight reaction to such a degree as to cause hemorrhaging of the vessels supplying the sweat glands into the ducts of the sweat glands. And it has been suggested that acute fear and extreme stress can cause this condition. Now, I think that's a very rare condition. I'm going to say, I've never been in that much stress. I've avoided that somehow.

We may all yet be under much more stress than we are today. But see, Jesus was in the most severe emotional stress and perhaps even physical stress to cause a very, very rare in humans condition. And yet, he was, in essence, even suffering at that point, knowing what was going to happen in the next day. And so, I mention this simply because, you know, as we go through our lives, we deal with and try to properly manage circumstances and situations that we often find troubling or difficult or stressful. You know, we can't avoid stress. Stress is going to affect us one way or the other. And yet, Jesus was under such incredible stress that he was sweating blood.

Does he really understand what God's allowing us to go through as he is preparing us for roles of service in his kingdom? He clearly does. Jesus clearly understands what we go through, and he is able to help us. He is able to rescue us from our sins, and of course, that's why his sacrifice was needed. So, I hope that as we approach the Passover this coming Thursday and then as we celebrate the days of Unleavened Bread that we keep in mind that our indebtedness to God has been paid in full through Jesus Christ. That he wishes us to have a godly sorrow and repentance that causes us to not be hardened but to be sensitive and to have a soft and malleable heart before him and to know that no matter what we are allowed to go through, even unto death as Jesus would go through as well, he clearly understands pressure. He understands the amount of stresses and the amount of draining that he could possibly be, but we can come to him for help. We can come to him, you know, we're told in Hebrews that he is our high priest, and you know, that we can come to his throne of grace in time of need because of that high priest. And so, please look forward to the Passover. Prepare by thinking about what God is wanting for us to know. But, you know, we have so much to gain because of who is on our side. And so, I encourage us all to take the Passover, not focused on my sins so much because I want to repent of those, but focused on Jesus Christ and doing exactly what he said by doing this, in remembrance of me.
