Matthew 26:29
I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine. He is done
with earthly rites, and at this sad moment points them to a future
reunion at the marriage supper of the Lamb. "Do this in remembrance of
me" (Luke 22:19) points to a permanent institution, to be observed
until the Lord comes the second time. The command is therefore binding
on all who believe in Christ; and disobedience to it is sin, for the
unbelief that keeps men away is one of the worst of sins. The
subsequent practice of the apostles (Acts 2:42 20:7), and still more
the fact that directions for the Lord's Supper were made a matter of
special revelation to Paul (1 Corinthians 11:23), seem to make it clear that
Christ intended the ordinance for a perpetual one, and that his
apostles so understood it.
