KNOW JESUS, KNOW HIS STORY: 8-Day Easter Reading Planਨਮੂਨਾ

Day 4: Jesus' Teachings and Last Supper

The Last Supper is more than just a meal shared between Jesus and His disciples; it's a pivotal moment that changed the course of history. In this intimate gathering, Jesus introduces the concept of communion, inviting His followers to remember the profound sacrifice He was about to make through the simple elements of bread and wine.

As He shared the bread, He told them, "This is my body given for you," signaling the ultimate sacrifice awaiting Him on the cross. The wine symbolises a new covenant, a fresh start for humanity sealed by His blood. In this act, Jesus foreshadowed His impending death and demonstrated His incredible love and humility—serving His disciples, washing their feet, and offering them His body and blood.

When Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of me," He wasn't just asking them to remember a singular event; He invited everyone, including us today, to keep His sacrifice alive in our hearts and minds. Taking part in communion isn't merely a ritual; it's a moment to stop and reflect on the immense love Jesus showed through His willingness to lay down His life for us.

Remembering Him goes beyond recalling a historical moment. It’s about engaging with the love, sacrifice, and grace that He offers us. It challenges us to reflect on His death and actively live out the lessons He taught through His life, death, and resurrection.

So, take a moment to think about what Jesus’ words, "Do this in remembrance of me," mean in your everyday life. How can His sacrifice influence how you treat others, offer forgiveness, and lend a helping hand? Engaging with these questions can help deepen your understanding of love and service in your own life.
