Lord's Supper Dr. Pat Holliday Marshall Perot Judge Paula

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

 THE MEANING OF THE SUPPER  IT IS A MEMORIAL...
  Paul's account as given by the Lord Himself - 1Co 11: 23-25

•  We eat the bread in memory of His body
• We drink the cup (fruit of the vine) in memory of His blood.
• We therefore commemorate the death of Jesus on the cross - Mt 26:28
• Whose death make the new covenant possible - He 9:16
• Whose blood was shed for the remission of sins - Ep 1:7
        -- As the Passover was a memorial commemorating Israel's deliverance from Egypt through the blood of the lambs on the door post, so the Supper is a memorial of our Lord's death who makes our deliverance from the bondage of sin possible
