The Divine Story of Jesus and You: A Mean with a Purpose

Sermon Quick Summary

      The scripture text for today is from Luke 22:14-20 (Sections 5.23, 5.24, 5.27 of our booklet on the Life and Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth). You, as a believer in Jesus Christ, are invited to the communion meal with application to your life today. For Jewish people, the Passover provided security on liberation from bondage; for believers, Jesus is our Passover. A reference to Jesus’ body is the bread remembering Jesus’ body crushed and broken for us. Another reference to Jesus’ body is the cup representing the blood of Jesus shed for us and the forgiveness of our sins. The body of Jesus is a new covenant that we remember. God transforms our heart, and we interact with God personally as we walk as children whose sins are forever forgiven. The New Covenant Meal is encouragement of the guarantee of God’s promises through hope. We do the New Covenant Meal to internalize what God has done through Jesus in and for us.
