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