Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with the first communion as we pick up in Mark, chapter 14, verse 25. And now with today's message,

here's Pastor Chuck. Jesus is giving to them a totally new understanding now of their

Passover ceremony. As he breaks the bread, he said, this is my body broken for you.

As he takes the cup, he said, this is a new covenant.

It's my blood which is shed for the remission of sins.

Then he told him, this doing remembrance of me.

You don't remember anymore the lamb in Egypt that was slain

and the blood placed in the basin

and sprinkled upon the lindles in the doorpost of the house.

You don't remember that lamb that was eaten

in order that you might have strength for your flight.

But now you remember me, this do in remembrance of me,

my body, my blood.
