Christian Reflection and Prayer

Ephesians 6: 10-17

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his
mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of
God, so that you can take your stand
against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our
struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the powers of this dark world and
against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full
armor of God, so that when the day of evil
comes, you may be able to stand your
ground, and after you have done everything,
to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt
of truth buckled around your waist, with the
breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness
that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In
addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,
with which you can extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one. 17  Take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with
all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in
mind, be alert and always keep on praying for
all the Lord’s people.

BE STRONG!

Scripture:
   
In the same way, he took the cup
of wine after supper, saying, "This
cup is the new covenant between
God and his people--an agreement
confirmed with my blood. Do this
to remember me as often as you
drink it."
1 Corinthians 11:25, NLT

Reflection:
   
Jesus said, "Do this to remember
me as often as you drink it.'' How
do we remember Christ in the Lord's
Supper?    
By thinking about what he did and
why he did it. If the Lord's Supper
becomes just a ritual or a pious habit,
it no longer remembers Christ, and it
loses its significance.
AND CHRIST IS SIGNIFICANT,
REMEMBER HIM!
