We are here this afternoon to give thanks to the Lord God for giving to us the gift of His Son. We have gathered together in His name now, to remember His sufferings and death so that they might be a reminder to every believer here, that the Lord is for you in an eternal sense and therefore you should not be afraid, either of the past, or of the future. For if you are trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation, He has saved you, and He will save you, entirely and completely. For His lovingkindness is everlasting; His mercy endures forever. We want to think together of the enduring value and efficacy of Christ’s life, and His sufferings and death, on our behalf. The word efficacy means effective or effectual power. The efficacy of Christ’s life, death and resurrection is found in His Person, and in His power to save, His power to cleanse from all sin, and His power to keep us spiritually safe, all the way to heaven. 1st – There is an enduring value and efficacy in the gospel for all believers in all generations. (verses 1-4) 2nd – There is an enduring value and efficacy in Christ to deliver your life from all distress. (verse 5a) And 3rd – There is an enduring value and efficacy in Christ to strengthen your faith. May your faith be encouraged and strengthened by these truths, when we observe the Lord’s Supper in just a few minutes.
