Lesson 3233

 (Lesson 3233)(11-09-20) Matthew 26:26-30

    “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. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.”

    In today’s quote, Jesus and His apostles were said to have eaten and drank what is today referred to as “communion”, or “The Lord’s supper”.  It’s important to make note that nothing was said, in Matthew’s account of that occasion, that even hints that the apostles, or we, as Christians, should practice that occasion on a regular basis. Jesus did, however, say the He would again break bread and drink wine with His apostles but ONLY when His Father’s kingdom has fully come.

    We will further study into the issue of the “Lord’s Supper” as these lessons continue.~
