Contemplating God's Forgiveness
Dr. Ernest Easley
Psalm 32
In preparation for the Lord's Supper, take your Bible and turn with me to Psalm 32. It here is we find King David contemplating the wonderful forgiveness of God and he concludes in verse 11 by saying, "Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart."
If there was ever a time in the life of a child of God to contemplate God's forgiveness, it's during a service like this when we share the Lord's Supper. Jesus tells us twice in 1 Corinthians 11 to "do this in remembrance of Me." In other words, "As you share in this supper, contemplate, mull over, think about, dwell on what I've done, so that you might experience forgiveness of sin."

Selah 5 I acknowledged my sin to You,?And my iniquity I have not hidden.?I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"?And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 6 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You?In a time when You may be found;?Surely in a flood of great waters?They shall not come near him.7 You are my hiding place;?You shall preserve me from trouble;?You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
