Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would remember the Lord with the issue of declaring His death and expressing their desire for His coming back (1 Cor. 11:26; Matt. 26:29, Hymns, #221, s. 4 and chorus).
Hymns, #221, stanza 4 and chorus:
Thou art our eternal portion,
Here we take a sweet foretaste;
We are waiting for Thy kingdom,
And Thy coming now we haste.
At Thy coming, in Thy kingdom,
With all saints that overcome,
We anew will feast upon Thee
And Thy loving Bride become.Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!We also remember the Lord at His table to express our desire of His coming back. First Corinthians 11:26b says that we declare the Lord’s death until He comes. While we declare the Lord’s death, we express our desire of the Lord’s second coming. In Matthew 26:29 the Lord said, “I shall by no means drink of this product of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of My Father.” This is the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens, in which the Lord will drink with us after His coming back. When we remember the Lord and declare His death, we express our desire that the Lord will come back soon.
