Question:
How can we prepare for the remembrance meeting?

Answer:
“This do in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19). The ability to participate in remembrance meeting is one of our most precious privileges and is a direct response to our Lord’s request.

When we accept the Lord Jesus as our personal Saviour, we become “lively stones” and members of a “holy priesthood,” with a purpose: “to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). We are a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9), and “a kingdom, priests unto God and His Father” (Revelation 1:6; Scofield note) and collectively “are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:22). As spiritual priests we are granted access “to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus… through the veil…” (Hebrews 10:19,20) where we may offer those spiritual sacrifices.
When we gather to remember Him, we are told to “draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water” (Hebrews 10:22). We are not to bring unjudged sin to the Lord’s table, but understand that “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). We are not to participate in the remembrance meeting in a casual or ((unworthy” manner (1 Corinthians 11:27), but are to behave with sobriety, knowing that the Lord is present at the meeting (Matthew 18:20).
Everyone must prepare. Preparation for the remembrance meeting includes accepting the Lord as your Saviour, then “examining yourself’ for unjudged sin (1 Corinthians 11:28), and “judging yourself’ for your failures (1 Corinthians 11:31; Hebrews 4:12) with confession to the Father (1 John 1:9) through your Intercessor, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1,2) before the meeting begins.As a priest, during the meeting, you then should accept the responsibility that the Lord has laid upon you; that is, make yourself available as a vessel for the action of the Holy Spirit to actively participate in the role of service outlined for you. All the men should be available to the Lord, whether to speak a word, share a thought, give a prayer, announce a hymn, or whatever action the Spirit would direct. The priest is not speaking for himself (as prior to the meeting in privacy), but rather is speaking for the group as we serve the Lord’s request. As a priest, do not hesitate because of youth or because you feel you have no special gift (1 Corinthians 12:7- 11). Speak as the Spirit directs, for if you are doing His will, the words will come simply and automatically. Whether you stammer the first nervous words as an infant learning to speak or as a seasoned older brother, the words you speak will be accepted as sweet incense if you allow the Spirit to direct the thought. Sometimes you may feel nervous because you can’t quote a lot of Scripture during a prayer or a word of praise, but remember that the Lord doesn’t need you to quote Scriptures—but rather desires that we simply remember Him in a way that is not intimidating to any of His children.
