What Communion Remembers

Session 1 of 3

The night before He died, Jesus shared a meal and told His followers to keep sharing it, forever, so they would never forget what He was about to do. This session walks through what the bread and the cup actually picture.

The Foundation

A Meal With a Meaning

And 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."
Luke 22:19, ESV

The Bread

His Body Broken for You

The Cup

A New Covenant in His Blood

This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians 11:25, ESV

An Old Meal, Made New

What Passover Was Pointing To

For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
1 Corinthians 5:7, ESV

Looking Forward

Proclaiming Until He Comes

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
1 Corinthians 11:26, ESV
