The First Lord's Supper - Nathan Rages

 

As a follow-up to last week's sermon on the "Last Supper" from Luke 22, we focus on Jesus initiating a new symbolic meal, usually called the Lord's Supper, the Lord's Table, the Breaking of Bread or Communion. We discuss five aspects of it:
1. It began with a thankful prayer (v19).
2. It included two symbols (v19-20).
3. It was to remember Jesus’ substitutionary death (v19-20).
4. It should be repeated perpetually (v19).
5. It points to the New Covenant (v20).
