Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

November 10


Matthew 26
Mark 14
The last day before the Lord's crucifixion. He leaves His disciples with a sacrament to help them remember what was about to take place, His death, burial, and resurrection. We refer to this as the Lord' Supper, or Communion. For several centuries following this event the church observed this sacrament every Sunday. I don't know why some churches moved away from this tradition. The only reason I've ever been given is that to observe it weekly makes it too common. My response to this is, does praying or giving weekly make them too common? Such a wonderful sacrament as the Lord's Supper should never be taken lightly, or become common.
