What Does the Bible Have to Say on the Lord's Supper?


Verses to Ponder-The Lord’s Supper.



Monday-Apr. 4: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34  These are the earliest written words we have about the Lord’s Supper.  Paul’s letters are considered the earliest written parts of the New Testament.



Tuesday-Apr. 5: Exodus 12:1-13  The Command for the Passover meal that Jesus shared as the Last Supper.



Wednesday-Apr. 6: Exodus 12:21-29  These verse command why the Passover is to remembered every year, down to the time of our Lord Jesus and until today in the Jewish faith.



Thursday-Apr. 7: John 13:1-20  In John’s Gospel, the story of the washing of the disciple’s feet is told.  It would happen before the meal, and many churches mark this occasion during their Maundy Thursday services. 



Friday-Apr. 8: Matthew 26:17-30  This is the Institution of the Lord’s Supper as recorded in the first of the Gospels.



Saturday-Apr. 9: Rev. 19:1-10  Jesus said he would not partake again until he and his disciples were in his Father’s kingdom.  This might be that meal.
