The Lord’s Supper: Matthew 26:17-30

The Lord’s Supper is a profound ordinance given by Jesus on the night of His betrayal, rich with meaning and significance for His followers. Rooted in the context of the Passover, this supper redefines the covenant community of God, shifting its focus from the sacrificial lamb of Exodus to Christ, the ultimate Passover Lamb, who delivers us from sin and death. As we gather to partake in the bread and the cup, we proclaim Christ’s atoning sacrifice, share in the blessings of the Gospel, renew our commitment to one another, and anticipate His glorious return. Today, let us examine our hearts and approach the table with reverence, gratitude, and hope, remembering that this supper calls us to look back at Christ’s work, look around at His people, and look forward to His coming kingdom.
