Luke 22:19-20 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.

Assurance of Blessings Jesus says, “For you.”

  12. Key Point #2 By giving each of us his true body and blood and saying, “for you,” Jesus assures us that each individual receives these blessings.

  13. Mark says, “Communion seems to be the time when a Christian gets the greatest comfort of forgiveness. You come to the Lord’s Supper, and Jesus gives you his true body and blood. What could be more comforting than that?” How would you respond?

  14. Agree or Disagree? If you have received the Lord’s Supper, you can be sure you are going to heaven.

  15. Evaluate… In some Episcopal churches, the priest hands each person a wafer and says, “The body of Christ, the bread of heaven.” Then he offers each person the cup and says, “The blood of Christ, the cup of salvation.”

Matthew 26:26-27 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.” Power to Bless Comes Through connected to eating and drinking

  22. Pastor Smith’s mind wandered a bit when he was distributing the Lord’s Supper. As he offered someone the cup he said, “Take and eat. This is the true body…” Did that person receive the Lord’s blood? Why or why not?

  23. Which is better to say? “The body and blood of the Lord strengthens us in faith.” or “The Holy Spirit strengthens us in faith when we receive the body and blood of the Lord.” Why did you make your choice?

  24. Agree or Disagree? When a pastor gives the Lord’s Supper, he acts as a mediator between God and man. Give a reason for your answer.

  25. In one of our church services could your father give people the Lord’s Supper? Why or why not? Could you give people the Lord’s Supper? Why or why not? Could someone who isn’t a Christian give people the Lord’s Supper? Why or why not?
