Monday, April 2
Memorial Date
After Sundown
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of the Christ?—1 Cor. 10:16.
In what way do those partaking of the wine at the Memorial ‘share in the blood of the Christ’? They certainly do not share in providing the ransom sacrifice. Through their faith in the redeeming power of Christ’s blood, their sins are forgiven and they are declared righteous for life in heaven. (Rom. 5:8, 9; Titus 3:4-7) It is by means of Christ’s shed blood that the 144,000 joint heirs of Christ are “sanctified,” set apart, cleansed from sin to be “holy ones.” (Heb. 10:29; Dan. 7:18, 27; Eph. 2:19) Yes, it is with his shed blood that Christ “bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and . . . made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”—Rev. 5:9, 10. w 2/15/06 10a
Memorial Bible reading: (Events on Nisan 13 and 14) Matthew 26:17-56; Luke 22:7-13
