Who is Jesus? At The Last Supper

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus shared His last meal with the disciples. This meal is known as the Last Supper. During this Passover meal, Jesus revealed to the disciples the deeper meaning behind what was about to happen to Him.

Jesus took the bread, broke it, and gave it to His disciples and told them that it represented His body. He took the cup from which they would drink and declared that His blood would be poured out for many and that this would establish a new covenant with God and His people. This meal was more than just a farewell gathering—this meal was a declaration of the sacrifice Jesus was going to make for the forgiveness of sins.

The Last Supper teaches and reminds us of Jesus’ love and the salvation He offers through His perfect sacrifice on the cross. Through His broken body and shed blood, represented by communion, we are invited into a relationship with God. Each time we take communion, we remember His sacrifice and we proclaim His death until He comes again.

Reflect:
This is a very important question: Have you accepted the gift of salvation that Jesus offers through His sacrifice? When you take communion, do you truly reflect on what the communion means for you? Jesus instructs us to do just that. To take time to remember His payment of a debt that you and I could not pay; a sacrifice that shows God’s love for us and gives us the free gift of salvation.

Respond:
Jesus gave His life so that we may live. Now is a great time to thank Him for His sacrifice. Reflect on His great love for us all. Ask God to help you to remember Christ’s work on the cross every day.

Pray:
Jesus, thank You for giving Your body and shedding Your blood for my salvation. Help me to live my life in a way that brings glory to You. Guide me in everything I do so that I may tell others of the amazing gift of salvation available to all through Jesus Christ. Amen.
