The Lord’s Supper

+ It’s institution

Matthew 26:26-28

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it  and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

    Then he took a cup,  and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.   This is my blood of the covenant,  which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

+ It’s Celebration

Acts 20:7

On the first day of the week  we came together to break bread.  Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

 For I received from the Lord  what I also passed on to you:  The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,   and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,  which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”   In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant  in my blood;  do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”   For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

+ It’s meaning

1 Corinthians 10:16

Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break  a participation in the body of Christ?

1 Corinthians 11:24-26

and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
