… took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. For as often you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. This promise is repeated by Paul in these words. The cup of blessing that we bless is not the participation in the blood of Christ. The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread who we are many, who we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. Let's pray together. Father, as we come to you tonight, we want to acknowledge that we are people who forget. We forget your goodness. We forget your promises. We forget just how much you love us sometimes. …
… Do this in remembrance of me. In the same manner, he also took the cup after supper, saying, this cup is the new covenant in my blood. this do, as often as you drink it, again, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim, literally preach, you preach, proclaim the Lord's death till he comes. as we prepare to commune. on the night that the Lord was betrayed, it was already rough. He was already going to have to go through the unthinkable. And to add onto that, in a moment of great weakness, betrayal. And yet it didn't stop him. The night in which he was betrayed, he took the bread, he broke it. Thank you. It says, take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you. Isaiah 53 says the chastisement that brought us shalom or wholeness was in his brokenness. So he was broken that we might be whole. Take, eat, this is my body. …
… 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 but the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table the son of man will go as it has been decreed but woe to that man who betrays him. They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this. Now turn to the right. We see Luke in the book of Acts 2, verse 42, tell us that they devoted themselves to the breaking of bread. Keep going to the right and you're going to come to 1 Corinthians 11. Now I want you to turn to me to 1 Corinthians 11 and I want you to see what Paul has to say to believers in the early church concerning the Lord's Supper. …
… 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 other words, that system that wasn't perfect but was pointing, it has been pointing to me. So this cup is representing a new agreement with God, a new way with God, a new deal, if you will, with God. And the covenant and the new agreement are in my blood. The life of the flesh is in the blood. I'm an innocent man coming to give my life for the guilty. I have been tempted in every way like you because I'm son of man, but I am without sin able to give my life as a payment in death. Jesus couldn't give his life for you if he didn't have a life. And he only had a life because he was innocent and perfect and the blood that would be shed was pure and spotless. Not just on the outside like the lamb in Egypt, but on the inside, he was pure and spotless. My blood, which is poured out for you. Matthew says of that verse, 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. Now he's going to say it plainly for the forgiveness of sins. How do you get forgiven? By …
… In the same way, he took the cup after supper and said, this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it. Do it in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Verse 27, so then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sin against the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person therefore examine himself before he partakes of this moment. In this way, let him eat the bread, eat the bread and drink the cup. For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, without recognizing what God has created, he eats and drinks judgment unto himself, not blessing. This is why many of you, he says, are sick and ill among you and why many have fallen asleep or died. Verse 33, therefore, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, welcome one another. …
