THE LORD'S SUPPER

KEY VERSE

“23For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25n the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 27Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.“

Story

14And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. 21But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. 22For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” 23And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

THE LORD'S SUPPER

Summary

The Lord’s Supper consists of bread (symbolizing His body) and wine (symbolizing His blood) and is regularly partaken when gathering to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for us.

Baptized believers can partake in the Lord’s Supper together.

Before participating in the Lord’s Supper, we should examine ourselves for sin, repent, and then rejoice and be thankful as we receive the bread and wine.

Reminder

  1. What is the Lord’s Supper?
  2. Why should you partake in the Lord’s Supper? What if you don't?
  3. Are you following everything that the Word of God teaches you when you partake in the Lord’s Supper? If not, are you willing to immediately change and obey Him?

Prayer

Pray that everyone feels encouraged when partaking in the Lord’s Supper with the church.

Application

The Lord's Supper is a holy ordinance symbolizing the remembrance of Jesus Christ's great sacrifice on the cross, through which we receive the grace of salvation and the restoration of our relationship with Him.
The act of eating the Bread and drinking the Wine symbolizes intimate communion between us and Jesus.

  1. The Bread – represents His body, nourishing our spirit and giving us strength to live a godly life.
  2. The Wine – represents His blood, cleansing our sins and bringing unity with Him and with each other.

The Lord's Supper is also a privilege and responsibility for every believer. It is an opportunity to express gratitude to Jesus, strengthen our faith, and commit to living according to His will. The Lord's Supper calls us to love, forgive one another, and work together to build a strong church.
