KEY VERSE

1 CORINTHIANS 11:24-26

24    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.”

         25    In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

         26    For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. 

OUTLINE

I. In Matthew 26:20-25, the pitiful soul (Judas) who sold the Messiah's identity for thirty pieces of silver is revealed.

II. In Luke 22:15-23, Jesus sits down with His disciples, and they have the Last Supper together here on earth.

III. Following the Last Supper in Matthew 26:30-35, Jesus prophesies from the words of Zechariah 13:7 that all the disciples will "fall away" because of His crucifixion.

IV. Lastly, in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, Paul warns the church of Corinth and all believers not to take the observance of the Last Supper in an unholy manner, because it is a ceremony for the basis of all Christianity.

The observance of the Last Supper, Communion, or the Lord's Supper is a special time where Christians reflect on the cost of our freedom from sin. It is a time to focus on the works of Jesus Christ and the unimaginable sacrifice He made for those who would receive His grace. It is NOT a time to talk, look at your cell phone, or focus on worldly things.
