Thoughts Upon Christ's Last Day

We meditate on the significance of Christ's final day, contrasting the human tendency toward panic or practicality with Jesus' purposeful fulfillment of Scripture. Jesus' death was not merely an end, but the commencement of His ongoing intercession and shepherding of His people. In that last day, Christ instituted the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of the New Covenant, the satisfaction of divine wrath through Christ's sacrifice, and the assurance of resurrection. Christ encouraged His people and prayed for our faith, and promised to take us with Him one day to glory. We seek to speak in a pastoral and comforting way, encouraging believers to find joy in the certainty of Christ's finished work, and His continued presence with us from now through eternity. We must engage deeply with the elements of communion, recognizing them as profound signs of redemption rather than mere rituals.
