VERSE:
Matthew 26:26-29
26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; 28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. 29 "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."
LESSON:
The Last Supper - Bread broken for you
In this verse, the writer in Matthew recounts the events of the Last Supper. The last meal that Jesus had with his Disciples before he was betrayed and the events of Good Friday and Easter Sunday took place. Read the words carefully, and realize that God provided a sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins in the person of Jesus Christ. Each time you take Communion, you are celebrating and remembering that priceless gift from God.
