THE MEANING OF THE LORD'S SUPPER

SEPTEMBER 5/6, 2026

WHY WE TAKE THE LORD’S SUPPER

1) REMEMBER GOD’S DELIVERANCE

Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people…. They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”.

Luke 22:1,2, 13-16 NIV

“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

Exodus 12:12-13 NIV

THANK GOD FOR FREEDOM FROM SIN

2) REMEMBER WHAT JESUS DID FOR YOU

After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you..

Luke 22:17-20 NIV

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.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 NIV

TAKE TIME TO REMEMBER THE CROSS

3) EXAMINE, CONFESS, AND REMEMBER HIM

A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves…. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Luke 22:24-26, 29-30 NIV

Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 11:28-30 NIV

CONFESS ANY SIN AND REFLECT ON HIM

Closing Prayer

Father, thank you for delivering me from the consequences of sin. Thank you for the sacrifice, Christ made for me and the suffering he endured to take my sin and shame. Lord, convict me of any sin in my life and help me to lay it all at Your feet. Thank you for the gift of forgiveness that we celebrate because of Your sacrifice for us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
