TRANSCRIPT

Date: August 27, 2023 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Just as God brought Israel out of Egyptian slavery by His mighty power, God has brought us out of our spiritual slavery to this sinful world through the powerful blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus established “The Lord’s Supper” to remind us to be thankful for His sacrificial death for our sins. The Unleavened Bread symbolized His body that would suffer for our sins – Isaiah 53:1-11 The Red Wine symbolized His blood as the only agent that could cleanse us of our sins – 1 Peter 1:18-21 In 1 Corinthians 11:26, the Apostle Paul said, “For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till He comes.” We will explain and observe “The Lord’s Supper” in our sermon on August 27; “This Do, in Remembrance of Me.”

The Bible doesn’t refer to the meal as the “Lord’s Supper”, or the “Last Supper”, but rather a “Passover Meal”, or the “Breaking of Bread.”

If we read the Scriptures chronologically, rather than trying to fit the events into our traditions, we will see that Jesus observed the Passover with His disciples on the evening BEFORE the Passover began the next evening.

There were also four cups of red wine mixed with water, symbolizing the four promises God made to Israel in Exodus 6:6-7

Just as God brought Israel out of Egyptian slavery by His mighty power, God has brought us out of spiritual slavery to this sinful world, through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Jesus commanded His disciples to follow this ordinance and to teach others to observe all He had commanded them.
