‏ Genesis 40:23

The Chief Cupbearer Forgets Joseph

Joseph asked, “keep me in mind” (Gen 40:14), but the chief cupbearer forgets him. Isn’t it often the case in our lives? How often do we not think of the Lord Jesus? And also: do we remember Him by heeding His wish and proclaiming His death? But also: when we proclaim His death in the breaking of bread and the drinking of wine, do we really think of Him? Aren’t we sometimes busy with other things in our minds? Then we are the same as the disciples. When the Lord Jesus institutes His Supper, they are disputing which one of them is regarded to be greatest (Lk 22:24).
