Communion (The Lord’s Supper)
Lesson 8: Communion (The Lord’s Supper)
Key Scriptures: Luke 22:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
Teaching Points:
- Communion is a sacred moment set aside to remember Jesus’ death and resurrection. As we take the bread, we reflect on His body broken for us; as we drink the cup, we remember His blood shed for the forgiveness of our sins. It is a tangible reminder of the immense sacrifice made out of love for us.
- This is more than a ritual—it is a time to pause, reflect, and examine our hearts. Communion calls us to repentance, to acknowledge our need for God’s mercy, and to renew our commitment to follow Christ faithfully.
- Each time we partake, we are reminded of God’s grace, freely given, and the forgiveness available through Jesus. It strengthens our faith and deepens our gratitude for the salvation we have received.
- Prayer:
- Lord, thank You for the gift of Your Son and the sacrifice He made for me. As I remember His body and blood, forgive my sins, renew my heart, and help me live in faithful obedience to You. Amen.
