Lesson 4275

 (Lesson 4275)(10-14-23) Mark 14:22-26

    “And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.”

    Today’s quote depicts the scene of, what is today, referred to as the “Lord’s Supper”, or “communion”.

    It is important to note that Jesus DID NOT, in Mark’s account, demand that the ritual they observed that day be continued, by those who would come to believe in Him, into perpetuity.

    My making note of that fact will be further discussed in differing accounts in upcoming lessons.~
