WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL

• Math was my favorite subject

• I was a whiz at it

BUT AS I GOT OLDER

• I went from basic math

• To geometry  (which wasn’t that bad)

• To Algebra   (which was that bad)

AND FINALLY I WENT INTO CALCULUS

• I was totally lost -

• I might as well have been blind-folded

• And put in a dark room

BUT MATH IS A PART OF OUR LIVES

• Both physically, or in this world

• And Spiritually, in our dealing with Jesus

THE BIGGEST MATH PROBLEM WE WILL EVER SEE

• Takes place when we surrender to Jesus

• He subtracts all of our sins

• And adds our eternal life in heaven

STRANGELY ENOUGH

• This monumental math equation

• Takes place under a PLUS sign

• Or, the sign of the cross

IN ADDITION TO THE SUBTRACTION & ADDITION

• We are even multiplied

• To have much more than ever before

WE NOW STAND IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

• Finding ourselves before God’s throne

• Where we receive the multiplied blessings

• Of a loving and faithful God

AS WE APPROACH THIS COMMUNION

• Let us ask God

• To grow (or multiply) our Christian character

• And to let the character of Jesus

• Be reflected in our daily lives

THE APOSTLE PAUL

• Reminds us to remember Jesus

• But not to just remember the man

WE ARE TO REMEMBER

• Who Jesus was in the eternal sense

• And to remember what He did for us

• And the love He expressed by doing it

ROMANS 4:7-8

‘Blessed are they whose sins have been forgiven by Jesus’ blood;

 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.’
