“I Hope You Know”
I Surrender All
“With fervent desire, I have desired to eat this
passover with you before I suffer, for I say to you I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the
kingdom of God” (Luke 22:15-16). Above all else, never forget, when the Lord planned the supper of His
communion, He planned the time when He would communion with His saints. Jesus wanted this event,
this moment to be the moment which draws His
people together, with Him, around the table of His remembrance and His promise return. Remember, in
order for us to see the readiness of why Christ was willing to suffer, we must see the relationship He
longs for with you and me. No small part of our Lord building His relationship with us is through our time of
worship. In order to worship to change us, we must change our view of worship. There is a fivefold/five-
layered purpose to the church. The church has a
purpose to evangelize, discipleship, fellowship, missionary, and to worship.
Evangelism - The well have no need of a physician, but
the sick, and Jesus did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners. He did not come to just
call sinners, but He came to call them to repentance (Luke 5:32)!
Discipleship - From sinners to saints, from condemned
to consecrated, we now build disciples, to help the daily walk of every soul become more like the life of
Jesus (Luke 5:38). We would not mix new wine in an old wine skin, why would we mix a new life with Jesus
with an old way of sin?
Fellowship - The church grows in strength and courage, in spirit and in number when she is together
(Acts 2:42,46). It’s through our fellowship our common love for the Lord and each other is nurtured
and grown.
Worship - As the church we are to worship God, in
order that we can connect with Him and He with us. Furthermore, there is not another group that has
been given the privilege of worship like has been given to the church, “But you are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of
Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (I Peter 2:9). But it is worship that
which makes all the purpose of the church not only
come to life, but supplies them with the life and encouragement needed to see them come true. I hope you know, every heart in each believer, will be
richly blessed when they choose to surrender all their life and every opportunity they have to gather with
the Lord for His communion feast at Supper, and dine with Him.
Missions - The church cannot remain isolated, she
must reach out to the world and take the message of the gospel to the world (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark
16:15-16). We help the world to transform into the image of the Savior when we carry His message to all
who are willing hear and obey.
