Matthew 26:26-35

Matthew 26:26-35

  1. The first thing that demands our notice is the right meaning of our Lord's words, "this is my body, this is my blood."
  2. The second thing which demands our notice is the purpose and object for which the Lord's Supper was appointed.
  3. The last thing which deserves a brief notice in this passage, is the character of the first communicants [that is, partakers of the Lord’s Supper].

"The Lord's Supper is not a sacrifice. There is no oblation in it--no offering up of anything but our prayers, praises, and thanksgivings."

"A man may know but little, and be no better than a child in spiritual strength, but he is not on that account to be excluded from the Lord's table. Does he really feel his sins? Does he really love Christ? Does he really desire to serve Him? If this be so, we ought to encourage and receive him."

Hi! My name is Shaun Martens, and I have the joy of serving the local body of Christ called First Baptist Church of Calgary as one of its pastors. I am married to my beautiful wife, Madelyn, and together we have 5 children, 3 of which we have the joy of parenting. I created this podcast to make the edifying writings of J.C. Ryle more accessible in a listening and devotional format.
