your Bibles, please, to the psalm,
Psalm 69. David and the other writers of
the psalm wrote most all of these psalms from their own experiences
but moved by the Holy Ghost. So many of their Psalms have
much more to do than just their life experience. It has the experience
of our Lord Jesus Christ. And we're going to see one of
them here in Psalm 69. We'll see the Lord and His experience
when He was made to be sin for us, taking all of the sins of
all of His people from all time at one time for you and me. Paul called himself the chief
of sinners. I wonder if that's what the Lord
Jesus called Himself when He took all our sins and died for
them. The wrath of God poured on Him.
We'll see His agony of His soul, but we'll also see hope for sinners. Psalm 69. Save me, O God, for
the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire where
there is no standing. I am come into deep waters where
the floods overflow me. I am weary of my crying. My throat
is dried. Mine eyes fail while I wait for
my God. They that hate me without a cause
are more than the hairs of mine head. They that would destroy
me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. Then I restored that
which I took not away. O God, Thou knowest my foolishness,
and my sins are not hid from Thee. Let not them that wait
on Thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake. Let not those that seek Thee
be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. Because for thy sake
I have borne reproach, shame hath covered my face. I am become
a stranger unto my brethren, an alien unto my mother's children. For the zeal of thine house hath
eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee are
fallen upon me. When I wept and chastened my
soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. I made sackcloth
also my garment, and I became a proverb to them. They that
sit in the gates speak against me, and I was the song of the
drunkards. But as for me, my prayer is unto
Thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time. O God, in the multitude
of Thy mercy, hear me in the truth of Thy salvation. Deliver
me out of the mire, and let me not sink. Let me be delivered
from them that hate me. and out of the deep waters. Let
not the water flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow
me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. Hear me, O
Lord, for thy lovingkindness is good. Turn unto me according
to the multitude of thy tender mercies, and hide not thy face
from thy servant, for I am in trouble. Hear me speedily. draw near unto my soul, and redeem
it, deliver me because of mine enemies. Thou hast known my reproach,
and my shame, and my dishonor, mine adversaries are all before
thee. Reproach hath broken my heart,
and I am full of heaviness, and I look for some to take pity,
but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. They gave me
also gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar
to drink. Let their table become a snare
before them, and that which should have been for their welfare let
it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened that
they see not, and make their loins continually to shake. Pour
out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take
hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate,
and let none dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom thou
hast smitten, and they talk to the grief of those whom thou
hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity,
and let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted
out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. But I am poor and sorrowful. Let thy salvation, O God, set
me upon high. I will praise the name of God
with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also
shall please the Lord better than an ox or a bullock that
hath horns and hooves. The humble shall see this and
be glad, and your heart shall live that seek God. For the Lord heareth the poor
and despiseth not his prisoners. Let the heaven and earth praise
him, the seas and everything that moveth therein. For God
will save Zion and will build the cities of Judah, that they
may dwell there and have it in possession. The seed also of
his servants shall inherit it. and they that love his name shall
dwell therein. Turn with me to 1 Corinthians
chapter 10. 1 Corinthians chapter 10. We're going to take the Lord's
table this evening, and I want to say a few things about it.
But here in 1 Corinthians 10, 16, look what he says. Or verse
15. I speak as to wise men, judge
ye what I say. Speaking to folks that understand
what I'm saying. People that are wise in the gospel
of Christ. People that God's taught some
things from his word. The cup of blessing which we
bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread
which we break is it that the communion of the body of Christ. So the cup of blessing, one bread,
one cup, one body. He said in verse 17, for we being
many are one bread and one body, and we are all partakers of that
one bread, the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, turn with me over to 1 Corinthians
11. Let's read just a few scriptures
here. Verse 23, For I received of the Lord that which also I
delivered unto you. He mentioned this often, you
know, I just delivered what God gave me to deliver. He talked
about preaching. He said that's why he didn't
preach himself. He said, For what I received of the Lord,
that's what I delivered to you. That the Lord Jesus, the same
night in which he was betrayed, took bread. And when he had given
thanks, he break it and said, take eat, this is my body, which
is broken for you, this do in remembrance of me. After the
same manner also he took the cup. When he had supped, saying,
this cup is the New Testament in my blood, this do ye as oft
as you drink it in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat
this bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death
till he come. The cup of blessing. You know,
when we come to the Lord's table, and that's what it's called,
the Lord's table, the Lord's supper, the bread and the wine,
we come and we understand what a blessed, glorious thing, the
work, the person and the work that our Lord Jesus Christ did.
God, as Gary prayed and Gary read the scriptures, He said,
Oh, the deep waters overflowed me. I was thirsty and they gave
me vinegar for my drink. They hated me without a cause.
They hated me with more than the hairs on my head. So, this is the things that we
understand that God's taught us. We rejoice in the person
of our Lord Jesus Christ. And because of who He was and
who He is now, that's what makes His work Effectual. That's what
makes His work so blessed. It's who did the work. We're
not trusting the work. We're trusting Him who did the
work. But He did do a work. He did a work to satisfy God. He did a work to save us. To save us. And He said it was
the cup of blessing. The cup of blessing which we
bless. Is it not the blood of Christ? Is the bread which we
bless, is it not the bread of Christ? And the bread, he said,
the bread is the communion of the body of Christ, the union
we have with Christ. And we're one body. And he says
we have this one union, communion of the body of Christ. And I
tell you, beloved, it's inconceivable. It's inconceivable to the Apostle
Paul that anyone, anyone who had faith in the Lord Jesus would
not partake of the blood and the wine or the bread and the
wine. It's just inconceivable that they would not take of the
wine and the bread. It's just inconceivable to him.
He knew that those who didn't understand the oneness of playing
the hypocrite or the meaning, those who didn't understand the
meaning of the Lord's table and those who were playing the hypocrite
when they would come to the table. So he laid down some warnings
and look at his warnings here now. He said down in verse 21,
if you're going to play the hypocrite and do things, other things,
he says, you know, when you come together into one place, this
is not to eat the Lord's supper. For in eating, everyone taketh
before other his own supper, and one is hungry and another
is drunken. They wasn't getting together. They was getting together
to have a big time. What? Have you not houses to
eat and drink in? That's where you eat your meals
at. That's where you drink at. Or despise you the church of
God and shame them that have not. What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I
praise you not. So he said this, and then look
what else he said. Oh, he laid down some warnings.
Look in verse 27. Wherefore, whosoever shall eat
this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily shall
be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. How can you
be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord? If you don't know
what you're doing, if you don't know Christ, and if you don't
know what he did, if you don't understand the meaning of his
death, the meaning of his work, the meaning of his blood, the
meaning of his broken body. That's what he said. For he that
eateth, verse 28, but let a man examine himself. It's not up
to me to examine you. The church is not the one to
examine you. The preacher's not the one to examine you. We're
not the one called to do that. And I've talked to people that
used to be in Reformed churches, and they would examine them,
the preachers and the deacons and stuff would examine people,
and if they wasn't doing the way they thought they ought to
do, they would put them out of the room when they took the Lord's
table. But it's not, I'm not the examiner. He said, let a
man examine himself. search his own self, and so let
him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. This is you, what
your relationship with Christ is. And he goes on to say this,
for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh
judgment or damnation to himself, and listen to this, not understanding,
not deserting, not understanding the body of our Lord Jesus Christ. So he gave a very stern warning,
and he warned people about taking the Lord's table. And that's
why he said it was just inconceivable to him that a person wouldn't
take the Lord's table. And this, you know, when they
took the Passover, they called it the Passover feast. And they
also called it the Passover, he said, from this on, it'll
be a memorial unto you. Every year you do this, this
will be a memorial unto you that God brought you up out of Egypt.
And that's what this is, this is a feast and this is a memorial
of our Lord's life and death and our part in it. And that's
why he said when he had taken bread, he break it, do this in
remembrance of me. The same night, and it says the
same night he was betrayed. And then he took the cup and
he says, this is my blood in the New Testament, take it and
drink it. And that's what our Lord said.
Now I want to give you three things, well, four things, but
three things mainly about the Lord's table. First of all, it
has a past to it. It has a present to it. And it
has a future to it. As we take this bread and this
wine tonight. First of all is respect to the
past. What did it say here in verse
23 and 24? That you, the same night in which
he was betrayed, He said, take, eat, in verse 24. And when he
took the bread, he break and said, this is my body, which
is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.
And he said it again in verse 25, as often as you drank it
in remembrance of me. And so this has to do with our
past. You do it in remembrance of me. Now, beloved, anybody
that takes the Lord's table, what do you remember about the
Lord Jesus Christ? What do you remember of the Lord's
life? What do you remember of what
he did for you? What his life did for you? What
his death did for you? And all, listen, we all remember
things that we know and people that we know, but what do you
remember of the Lord's acts towards you? And that's what he's saying
here. Do you remember the Lord Jesus
Christ and what he did to open his heart to you and to make
himself known to you and in making himself real to you and alive
to you and vital to you? You remember our Lord's love
love towards you? Oh, that Christ loved you? And
that's something that astounds me. Lord, how could you possibly
love me? And there's only one reason you
can find. It's because He just would do
it. And how did He say? Oh, they
said, herein is my love for you. No greater love that a man has
this, than he lay down his life for his friends. Oh, do you remember? You remember when He came and
He brought forgiveness to you? Oh, when He brought forgiveness
to you, He made you to understand that all your sins were forgiven,
and He took your sins away, and all the feeling that you had
in your heart and your soul, the day that you understand your
sins were gone. It might have been 40 years ago,
it might have been 10 years ago, it might have been last week,
and it might be tonight. But oh, you remember, He says,
remember, Behavior oh, we there's lots of things we have find hard
to forgive ourselves up But our Lord don't find it hard to forgive
us of everything Everything he forgives us of things before
we do them Forgives us before we do it And all listen about
his compassion. Oh his compassion towards you
how compassionate and And you know compassion means being able
to enter in to what your suffering is and what you're going through. And our Lord Jesus Christ has
the ability to be touched with the feelings of our infirmity.
to be touched with our heartaches, to be touched with our sorrows,
to be touched with our griefs, be touched with all we're going
through. He's able to be touched with
what we're going through. Every soul in this building and
all His people all over the world right now, He is so great and
so glorious and so precious and so powerful that He can have
compassion on all His people at the same time. And oh my,
do you remember our Lord's sufferings? Do you remember when the Holy
Ghost brought to you the remembrance of our Lord's sufferings? His
sufferings was not for himself. He read it tonight. The reproaches
of them that reproached you, oh Father, they fell on me. Everyone that ever reproached
you, you turned their reproach to me. And when I was thirsty,
I said, give me a drink. They gave me vinegar. And to
think, and this is the way, I don't know about you all, but I'm like
Thomas sometimes. I'm like Thomas. I don't get
touched so much by the Lord's sufferings as I should be. I
know there's been times that I have. But I'm like Thomas,
you know, I have to see the wounds afresh. And then when I see the
wounds afresh, the suffering afresh, the crown of thorns afresh,
The bleeding afresh. The sufferings on the cross afresh.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Sin afresh. Then
I fall down like Thomas and say, my Lord and my God. My Lord and
my God. Oh my, you remember, do you remember
our Lord's rejection? He was despised and rejected
of men. Being hated. And oh my. And remember, and this is why
we come here to the gospel, Him bearing your sin, your sin, yours,
yours. Now that's what'll touch you.
He bore your sins, your sins. Look with me over here in Luke
22. Keep 1 Corinthians. Look over here in Luke 22. Look
what our Lord did here. Oh, you're talking about our
Lord Jesus Christ. This has to do with past and
remembrance of me. And the apostles and the disciples,
every time they did this, they did it remembering the Lord Jesus
Christ. And they knew Him, walked with
Him, and they did it. Oh, remember what our Savior
said. Remember that our Lord said.
Remember the words that He spake unto us? In Luke 22, 60, look
what it says now. Simon Peter's in the house, and
he's denying the Lord Jesus Christ. And in verse 60, look what he
says. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately,
while he yet spake, the cock crew. Now watch this. And the
Lord turned and looked upon Peter. They're taking him out. They're
going to fix to take him over to Herod, and then they're going
to take him to Pilate. And they've done God, they've
done mistreated him so bad. And they've done been mistreated
and they've taken him out of there. And Simon Peter's standing
over there and they heard that rooster crow. And he remembered
the Lord Jesus says, before the rooster crow in the morning,
you will have denied me three times. And when he says the last
time, I don't know what you're saying, I don't know this man.
The Lord Jesus turned and looked right at Peter, looked right
at him, looked right at him and watch what happened. And the
Lord turned and looked upon Peter, and listen to this now, and Peter
remembered, remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said
unto him, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me three times.
And what did Peter do when he remembered that? He went out
and wept bitterly. Oh my. And I'll tell you what,
and look back over here then in our text where I was at. He
says, do this in remembrance of me, me, me. He said, when you do this in
remembrance, remember me, me. He told that thief beside him,
today thou shall be with me in paradise. And that's what this
is all about. Me, him, he said, remember me. Don't remember what you've done.
Don't remember your failures. Don't remember your accomplishments.
And I tell you, beloved, there's been times, I'll be honest with
you, there's been times that, do I feel worthy of taking the
bread and the wine? No. Am I a failure? Yes. Am I a hypocrite? Yes. Have I
got self-righteousness? Yes. But I'm not doing this because
there's anything good about me or wrong with me. It's because
of what he did. He said, do this in remembrance
of me. Me. He did it. Do this in remembrance
of me. And in breaking the bread, this
was the combination of his suffering for his people. He broke the
bread and said, this is my body broken for you. That's the past. Then look at the present. That's
what he says in verse 24. And when he had given thanks,
he break it and said, take eat. This is my body. This is broken.
The present is broken for you. And this cup, and when he had
supped, this cup is the two testament of my blood. And this is the
present right now, broken for you. Take eat, this bread is
broken for you. This cup, do ye. And what this
is telling us, beloved, this deals with our present right
now. We live by him. We have no life apart from him.
And we live by him because his body was broken, because he suffered
in his body on that tree. We live because he shed his blood
and cleansed us from our sin in his own blood. It was his
blood that he took into the holiest of holies and there, beloved,
offered it to God. And God said, it's a sweet smelling
savor. And he came back out. And he
came back out with eternal redemption. And beloved God himself told
his blessed son, oh, my son, my son, I love you. And oh, he
showed him that he raised him from the dead, sent him at his
own right hand. And right now, our Lord Jesus
Christ took His blood, took His body, and took everything that
He did on this earth, and all the marks in His body, right
back to glory, and He sets us at the right hand of God. And
when we see Him, when we see Him, we'll see Him just like
He was when He got off that cross. He's still gonna have them nail
prints in His hand. He said, we'll see him as a lamb
as it had been slain. You can't see a slain lamb without
seeing blood. You can't see a slain lamb without
seeing it suffer. And we're going to see him as
he is. And he says, we live by him.
The blood, the bread that was broken and the blood that was
shed, the blood of the cup of the New Testament, the new covenant
shed for you. And you know, beloved, It's Christ
in you, that's the hope of glory. Christ in you, the hope of glory.
And I tell you, that's what he says, the cup of blessing which
we bless, is it not the blood of Christ? The bread which we
eat, is it not the body of Christ? Look over here with me in John
6. 1 Corinthians 11. Look in John 6. He's this true
bread. John 6 and verse 30. This is broken for you. This
is the blood, the true Testament for you. This is present. This
is now for you. And look what he said in John
6 30. They said, therefore unto him,
what sign showest thou then that we may see and believe thee?
What work doest thou? What work would you do to give
us some evidence that we are you, who are you say you are,
and we can believe it. And they went on to say, our fathers did
eat manna in the desert. As it is written, he gave them
bread from heaven to eat. Then our Lord answered unto them
and said, verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses didn't give you
that bread from heaven. No, Moses ain't had no power. He can't give bread. He can't
give you any bread, just come down from heaven. Moses can't
bring down nothing from heaven. He didn't come from heaven, Christ
came from heaven. Moses gave you not that bread
from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God, which he,
is he which cometh down from heaven, and listen to this, and
giveth life unto the world. Now listen to what they said
here now. Lord evermore, give us this bread. Moses didn't, you got it. Lord
evermore give us this bread. Give us this bread. And our Lord
said, I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never
hunger. We're not doing this because
we're hungry. Christ satisfies us. We're doing this in remembrance
of him, of me. And all shall never hunger and
he that believeth on me shall never thirst. And then back over
here in our text, look what it says. He says there in verse 26, for
as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, we show the
Lord's death. We do show the Lord's death.
And what He means by that is we understand and we believe
that our Lord's death and what it accomplished for us and what
it did and that it accomplished what Christ meant for it to do
and what God meant for it to do. It accomplished that. Ain't
that right? And here's the future. Here's
the future. Past, this is my body broken
for you. Bread, this is my blood shed
for you. Present for you, you now. And
then look what, here's our future. In verse 26, for as oft as you
eat this bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death.
Now watch this, till he come. Till he come. We'll do this till he come. till
he comes and gets us one by one, or he comes and gets us all at
once. But we do this, and we're gonna, he took, you know, I gotta
show you this. Look over in Luke 22. He took
his disciples in the upper room. Luke 22 again. Oh, I tell you,
this is something here. Luke 22 in verse seven. Luke
22 in verse seven. You know, he took his disciples
in the upper room, a large upper room, And we do show the Lord's
death till he come, till he come. In Luke 22 verse seven, look
what he said here now. Then came the day of unleavened
bread when the Passover must be killed. It's time, you know,
they did it in the, you know, the first time they did it when
they came out of Egypt. Every house had a lamb, they
slew the lamb, Put it up, kept it up 14 days, no faults, no
blemishes in it. They slew it, spread the blood
over the door, the lintel of the door, and then they roasted
with fire. And they ate it with bitter herbs.
And they stood with their clothes on their backs and their shoes
on their feet, ready to go. And that's what happened. He
said, now it's time. And they had to have unleavened
bread for seven days. No leaven in the house. And he
sent Peter and John saying, go and prepare us the Passover.
Go and get us the lamb. Go get us the lamb that we're
gonna slay and have for the Passover and roast. And go and prepare
us that we may eat. And they said unto him, we're
wilted out that we prepare. Where are we gonna go to prepare
it? He said unto them, when you are
entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing
a pitcher of water. Follow him, when you see him,
you follow him into the house that he goes into. And then when
you get in there, you shall say unto the good man of the house,
the fellow that runs this house, the master saith, the master
saith, where is the guest chamber? That's all we are is guests down
here. We're not, this is not our home. Where is the guest
chamber? Now watch this, where I shall
eat the Passover with my disciples. And he shall show you a large
upper room furnished, and there make ready. And they went and
found as he had said unto them, and they made ready the Passover. And when the hour was come, he
sat down and the 12 apostles with him. Now he went to all
this trouble, told them everything that was gonna happen, and they
took them to a large upper room. And he sat down and ate with
his disciples. Ate the Passover with his disciples.
And I tell you, beloved, he will come again. And you think that
large upper room was something. You wait till he takes us up
yonder. That place in his father's house
where there's lots of mansions. And he takes us up there. And
we sat down to what? The marriage supper of the Lamb. You know, he told his disciples
that I'm not gonna drink wine with you again till I drink it
new with you in the kingdom of God. And beloved, he's gonna
come and we'll sit down to a great feast then. And it'll be the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And the Lamb's bride is made
ready. How's she made ready? She's white,
dressed in white linen, pure and white. And the Lord Himself
will sit there, and we'll be gathered around, and our Lord
Jesus will serve us. And I tell you what, there won't
be no more slaying there, there'll be no more bread, there'll be
no more wine, there'll be nothing else to do but to sit and worship
our Lord and eat that final meal with Him in glory. As they sat
around that table with our Lord Jesus Christ, and they took that
lamb that was roasted, and they took their bread, their unleavened
bread, and they had that herbs that they dipped that bread in,
none of that will go on up there. It'll be ready when we get there.
And all, listen, all the disciples of all ages, of all nationalities
going to gather around. And can you imagine how big a
table it's going to be? Can you imagine how big a table
that's going to take to hold all of us? Oh, anyone that can create this
world and hold up by his power, he can have a table big enough
for all of us to sit at. And here's the thing about it.
Every one of us will be sitting there like it's only us and him.
That's what the glory's about. Peter, here's your bread. Here,
I broke this for you. Here, take this cup. This cup
is the New Testament, my blood. None of that'll ever happen again.
None of that'll ever happen again. Oh my. And I tell you what, we
won't need no light there. There won't be no tears allowed
there. And it said here, the same night in which he was betrayed,
he took bread. And there'll be no betrayals
there. No betrayals there. And then
in verse 16 of chapter 10, let me close with this. It's called
a communion. 1 Corinthians 10, 16, the cup
of blessing, which we bless. Is it not the communion, the
communion? And that communion means partaken
with, one with, in union with. Is it not the communion of the
blood of Christ, the bread which we break? Is it not the communion
of the body of Christ? Our union with his blood, our
union with his bread and his body? And it's called a communion. And how do we commune with our
Lord Jesus Christ? How are we one with Him? How
do we have this communion, this oneness with this? Well, by faith,
by faith, by faith, by faith, by our souls, by our hearts.
And I tell you, how else do we have this communion with Him
that we've gathered to do? By His Spirit, by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit takes the things
of the Christ and makes them known unto us and makes them
alive unto us. And by the scriptures, we commune
with him through his words. Search the scriptures, for in
them you think you have eternal life, and they will speak of
faith. And I want you to read 2 Corinthians 13 and verse 14,
and I'm done. No, I'm not either, but I've
got ahead of myself here. Look in chapter 13 and verse
14. You know, The bread we eat is one loaf.
The wine we drink is one bottle. And it's called the cup of blessing.
But look what he said here. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is how we worship. This
is how we have communion with him. The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost
be with you all. Amen. And he says, the cup of
blessing which we bless. And what is it to bless? We ask
people when we get together for a meal, say, will you say the
blessing? And you know, we can't bless the food, only God can
do that. But when we say bless, we say,
we offer thanks. And we bless God that he's the
one that provided it, that he's gave us this opportunity, he's
gave us this fellowship. And to bless is to pray. We bless
thy name, O Lord, we praise thy name. And not only is to bless,
it's also to pray. We are also to pray. You go through
the scriptures and find how many people said, O Lord, we bless
you. And they're praying when they say those things. And all
pray that it'll be a blessing to us and pray that this thing
will be a blessing to the lost among us and to be a blessing
to those that we love. And we sang that old song, there's
power, power, wonder-working power in the precious blood of
the Lamb. And to bless, give thanks, praise
and praise for the effects of the blood towards us and the
broken body of Christ suffered for us. All spiritual blessings
are in Him. And here's what we bless the
Lord for and give thanks for. The blessings of sins put away
and the blessings of acceptance in the Beloved. Acceptance of
the Beloved in the Beloved. I pray that's a blessing. Our Father, in the precious,
precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for the day.
Oh Lord, it's your day and you blessed us in this day. And we
pray for Eleanor and now and it's what she's going through
and where she's at and pray that you'd give her grace, abundance
of grace, give her children abundance of grace. And Lord, bless our
fellowship this evening and this time that we partake of this
bread and of this wine. And Lord, we do it in remembrance
of you. It's a memorial. We remember.
And oh, Lord, don't never let us forget. And let us always
love you. And Lord, if we, by some reason,
were to forget, Forget even who we are. Forget our name. Forget
those we love. Lord, we have this blessed, blessed
hope and blessed assurance that you'll never forget. You'll never
forget us. You've written us on your hands.
You've marked us in your body. And you loved us with an everlasting
love. And Lord, you knew us before
we was formed in our mother's belly. We may forget, but, Lord,
you never will. Thank you for that blessed assurance.
In Christ's holy name, amen. Amen. Gary and Brad's going to
come and serve the Lord's table.
