When My Love For Christ Grows Weak
“this do in remembrance of me” (1 Cor. 11:24) — when we pause and reflect on the sacrifice of Christ we should:
- Go to the garden and increase your love for Christ
- Matthew 26:36-47
- Christ is seen in agony over all that He knew was about to come to pass.
- He is seen all alone knowing His disciples are about to desert Him (26:31, 56).
- Yet His attitude was still to do the will of the Father.
- The reminder is He knew what was about to happen and willingly went forward with it(John 10:11, 18).
- Go to the cross and increase your love for Christ and others
- Matthew 27:27-50
- He went to the cross for us, not because He deserved it (1 Pet. 2:22-24).
- When we see Him writhing on the cross remember He died for me and all mankind (Rom. 5:8; John 3:16).
- That image needs to remind me of the love of God for me and the value of each individual soul.
- Turn again to the world with a changed perspective
- Changed perspective toward Christ – see and follow His great example (1 Pet. 2:21; John 14:15; 1 John 5:3).
- Changed perspective toward others – motivated to teach the gospel to others (2 Cor. 5:14-15; Mark 16:15-16)
