I am thankful for the sacraments
Christ Jesus instituted two sacraments for his church, baptism and the Lord's Supper. Obviously, these sacraments are good, wise, and enriching for the church; Christ instituted them after all. They are also good because they reveal to us God's will. The Reformer Musculus said, "First, baptism assures us that it is God's will to accept us as his people consecrated and consigned to his name. Secondly, the Lord's Supper assures us of our continuing membership in the company of the redeemed." Praise God every Sunday we receive the sacrament we are reminded that God keeps us because he gave his life for us, and praise God at every baptism we are reminded the Lord's name is upon us.
