Overview
Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper during the final Passover meal with His disciples. This ordinance serves as a remembrance of Christ's sacrificial death and is practiced by believers as an act of obedience and worship until His return.
Key Scriptures
"Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.' And he took a cup and gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins'" (Matthew 26:26-28, ESV).
"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).
Application
Participate in the Lord's Supper with reverence and self-examination, remembering Christ's sacrifice and your faith in His finished work.
